Too
often, poor care and living conditions in residential care facilities – nursing
homes and assisted living – are not addressed because people do not know where
to turn to report problems. Sometimes, people are afraid that a resident
will be harmed if a complaint is made by the resident or family, or a worker
might not want to say anything out of fear of losing his or her job. To
improve accountability in residential care, LTCCC has launched an on-line,
anonymous survey for people to inform us about significant problems in the
facilities in their communities. We will use this information to make our
systemic advocacy more effective by letting state leaders know about problems in
specific nursing homes.
PLEASE
NOTE: While we will be bringing information to the relevant authorities for
their investigation in our advocacy work, we are not equipped to respond to
individual problems. If you believe that someone is in danger or at risk please
contact the appropriate authorities in your community immediately as well as
letting us know. As mentioned above, all information will be kept confidential –
the survey does not ask for or collect information from individuals. To access
the survey go to http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=oq9QUoYdS8wCcW7Jh_2b9RJQ_3d_3d.
