The authors of Nursing Homes: Getting Good Care There are advocates, experienced professionals, who represent over one hundred years of caring, concern, advocacy and knowledge about the day-to-day life of residents living in nursing homes. Three (Frank, Fraser, and Hunt) have served as state long-term care ombudsmen. One (Burger) is a nurse who has worked in nursing homes, a long-time advocate, and former NCCNHR executive director. Frank and Hunt have also worked directly for NCCNHR providing valuable work in policy development, advocacy and training. In this book, so generously donated to the NCCNHR organization, the authors provide a wealth of insights, information, and encouragement to help residents, family members, resident and family councils be advocates for change.
