Citizens for Better Care is a statewide consumer advocacy organization concerned with improving the quality of long term care facilities and services, and with protecting the rights of older persons and others requiring those services.  Citizens for Better Care is also the sponsor of the Michigan’s Long Term Care Ombudsman Program, created by the Federal Older Americans Act.  This program provides state and local advocacy services to address the issues and problems faced by residents of long term care facilities.

Citizens for Better Care strives to improve the quality of life for residents of long term care facilities and to prevent incidents of abuse, neglect and exploitation against the elderly.  They also provide clear and accurate information to help consumers and their families make informed decisions about long term care services.

If you are choosing a long term care facility, such as a nursing home, home for the aged, or adult foster care facility and need information on what to look for, methods of payment, types of facilities, the level of care provided, or the location of homes in your community, call Citizens for Better Care at 800-833-9548 or visit them on the web at www.cbcmi.org.
