In spring 2025, Consumer Voice conducted a nationwide survey of long-term care residents to learn what daily life is like in their facilities. The questions ranged from whether residents feel they are treated with dignity and respect to how appealing their meals are, and everything in between.

In this two-part podcast, we discuss the survey results and explore key themes with the residents themselves, who serve on Consumer Voice’s Consumer Advisory Council. They share their thoughts and experiences on what it’s like to live in long-term care in 2025 and offer valuable advice on how they advocate for themselves and others.

Guests: Maurice Miller, Ray DiFrancisco, Cindy Jones, Margarite Grootjes, and Jeanette Sullivan-Martinez
