Support CANHR’s Advocacy Campaign for Quality Care

California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform is dedicated to improving the choices, care and quality of life for California’s long term care consumers. Through direct advocacy, community education, legislation, and litigation CANHR educates and supports long term care consumers and their advocates regarding rights and remedies under the law. It is CANHR’s goal to create a united voice for long term care reform and work toward alternatives to institutionalization.

Volunteer with CANHR and support us in these efforts.
