Description:
How did we get from January 1, 1981, when the Reagan Administration repealed nursing home residents' rights proposed by the Carter Administration, to enact the Nursing Home Reform Law in December 1987? This webinar tells the remarkable history of the Reform Law and considers how to address current challenges in realizing its full promise and potential for every resident. The presentation will conclude with discussion and Q&A.

Presented by Center for Medicare Advocacy Senior Attorney Toby S. Edelman; National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare's Senior Health Policy Expert, Anne Montgomery; and Lori Smetanka, Executive Director of the National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care.
