California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform

About this Organization:
Since 1983, California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform has been fighting for the rights of long-term care residents in California. CANHR has directed its resources toward the following long term care issues: developing consumer information and making it affordable and accessible to consumers, aiding residents and their families in finding the legal services they need, providing consumers, attorneys and social workers with accurate information on Medi-Cal and long term care issues, tougher sanctions against homes that abuse or neglect residents, eliminating the inappropriate use of physical and chemical restraints, fighting for fair and equitable Medi-Cal rules to protect the poor and middle class from impoverishment and loss of their homes, determining root causes of poor care and developing legislation and policy to address them.

Notes:
Offers low cost legal referrals, some pro bono referrals.
