AARP Ohio invites Ohioans to share nursing home experience during live call with Ohio Director of Aging

By
AARP Ohio, Press Release

AARP Ohio is hosting a live telephone townhall with Ohio Department of Aging Director Ursel J. McElroy Thursday, April 20 at 11 a.m. EST. The discussion is an opportunity for Ohioans to share their personal stories, ideas for improvements and learn more about the new Ohio Governor’s Nursing Home Quality and Accountability Task Force, chaired by McElroy.
 
“We are encouraging all Ohioans to participate and help drive realistic solutions” said AARP State Director Holly Holtzen. “Their input is vital to making sure the final report reflects the complexity and inconsistent quality Ohioans experience in caring for parents, spouses and other loved ones in nursing homes.”
 
With the goal of finding solutions to improve the quality of care and experience in Ohio’s 960-plus nursing homes, the task force has been traveling to communities around Ohio to hear directly from nursing home residents and their families during a series of in-person listening sessions. More information about the task force and other options for public participation is available here.

Resources and information on family caregiving are available at aarp.org/caregiving.
