Website Resource

"Families for Better Care, Inc. is a non-profit citizen advocacy group dedicated to creating public awareness of the conditions in our nation’s nursing homes and other long-term care settings and developing effective solutions for improving quality of life and care."   www.familiesforbettercare.com

This looks like a good resource for any of us involved in caring for someone with dementia.  This non-profit group looks into the care that takes place in nursing homes and other assisted living situations and reports on the good and the bad.  It is also a website for information about your state and various facilities, and it helps educate families on how to advocate for good care.  This group helps create laws and regulations that protect our older citizens who are in need of assistance.  It looks like a good resource.
