🌟 Did you know that more than one in 10 California nursing facility residents have low care needs and could potentially thrive in more residential, supportive settings like assisted living communities? 🌟 The California Health Care Foundation's latest publication, "What is Assisted Living? Opportunities to Advance Community-Based Care for Medi-Cal Enrollees," highlights a critical opportunity to enhance care for Medi-Cal enrollees by offering them the option to live in settings that align with their needs and preferences. Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) play a pivotal role in this landscape. PACE is designed to serve individuals at risk of nursing home placement, providing them with the comprehensive care they need while allowing them to remain in their own homes and communities. This includes those residing in assisted living facilities, where PACE can support their desire for independence and a higher quality of life. Thank you to the California Health Care Foundation for highlighting solutions that honor older adults' wishes to live with dignity in the community. #ElderCare #PACE #AssistedLiving #CommunityCare #HealthCareInnovation #SeniorCare

🌟 October is Residents’ Rights Month—a crucial time to raise awareness and advocate for the rights of those living in nursing homes across the country. This month, we recognize the importance of ensuring that every resident is treated with the dignity, respect, and care they deserve. These rights aren’t just guidelines; they are essential protections that safeguard the quality of life for nursing home residents. Key rights include: 🔹The right to be treated with dignity and respect 🔹The right to privacy in personal care and communications 🔹The right to participate in decisions about their care and daily routine 🔹The right to file complaints without fear of retaliation 🔹The right to be free from abuse, neglect, and exploitation These rights ensure that residents can live safely, make their own choices, and speak up without fear. Upholding these protections is not just the responsibility of caregivers and facilities but of our entire community. Together, we can ensure that these rights are respected and that our loved ones receive the compassionate care they deserve. #ResidentsRightsMonth #nursinghomeadvocacy #elderlycare #ElderCare #ElderAbuseAwareness #elderabuse #nursinghomeabuse
