In Our Own Words

"I have emphysema and I need care, but a nursing home shouldn't be my only option. My father built my house decades ago, and I am proud and determined to stay living in my house as long as possible. That is why we need a Consumer Workforce Council -- because nobody should feel forced to leave their home."
