October is National Residents’ Rights Month and an event, “The Power of Together”, raised funds to support the Long Term Care Ombudsman Program (LTC Ombudsman Program) which exists to live out its mission of resident advocacy.

Zanzy Lewis, the executive director of the Long Term Care Ombudsman Program, spoke passionately about residents living in nursing homes and assisted living facilities during the annual “Amplify Our Voices” event held recently at Parkview Field.
