As an organization serving older adults and their families, seeing others doing the same fills us with joy. Shoutout to the Bret Mega Show @Y98 for accomplishing this heartwarming project involving schools to create over 6,000 handmade valentines for residents of nursing homes.

The issue of housing & low-income housing for older adults is monstrous & can have direct health impacts on the public. Without housing, health conditions such as diabetes, HIV, high blood pressure, or mental health issues are virtually impossible to treat & stabilize.

Did you know it is completely legal for nursing homes to own companies that provide services to the nursing home, such as real estate, management, physical therapy, & staffing? They pay themselves for these purchases & there's no transparency in these related party transactions.

This allows nursing homes to seemingly spend millions on such services while the money stays in ownership's pockets. Learn more about these transactions & visit @ConsumerVoices new reference guide: act.theconsumervoice.org/sit…
