There Is Power In A Group
“There is power in a group, and if a spokesperson of the family group talks to the administrator of a nursing home, then they are bound to listen.”
-Martin Solomon
Families play a pivotal role in ensuring the well-being and quality of care for their loved ones in nursing homes. However, navigating the complexities of nursing home care can be daunting. That’s where the nursing home Family Group comes in—a powerful resource for advocacy.
Establishing a Family Group can be instrumental in enhancing resident care and quality of life by providing a platform for families to collaborate and advocate for their loved ones’ needs. The 1987 Nursing Home Reform Act protects a family’s right to establish a Family Group within nursing homes.
Martin Solomon joined the Careblazers podcast and provided practical tips and strategies on how to start a Family Group, outlining the rights that residents’ families have in setting up these groups. He also discussed the functions and powers of family groups, emphasizing their role as a collective voice for advocacy within nursing homes.
Listen to the podcast to learn more about starting a Family Group and empowering yourself to make a difference in your loved one’s care.
