FACT SHEETS: Empowering Consumers to Make LTC Choices

The National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care has produced a series of fact sheets designed to empower long-term care consumers in their search for the highest-quality care.

The 30 fact sheets cover subject such as:

• how to choose a nursing home (pdf),
• how to pay for long-term care (pdf),
• how to hire your own personal care attendant (pdf), and many more.

The fact-sheet series was spun off of a 2011 Consumer Voice report entitled “Piecing Together Quality Long-Term Care: A Consumer Guide to Choices and Advocacy” (pdf).

Consumers who use the fact sheets are encouraged to fill out a brief survey about their experiences.
