Every life matters in this world. Even more so for elder citizens. They are essentially our future selves, and therefore, each and every one of us should be concerned about the quality of care and life they receive, especially within the long-term care setting. Phyllis's new book Overdue: Quality Care for Our Elder Citizens examines how we as a culture treat our elder citizens as they continue life's journey. She will provide insight on the nursing home industry from an insider's perspective including more dignified and effective models of care. She shares the need for a grassroots advocacy and a national conversation on how we care for our elder citizens.
