- About bed holds and readmissions—why protecting that nursing home bed is critical
- The importance of care plan meetings—the key to getting good care
- About discharges—wrongful discharge, advocacy steps to delay discharge, and ensuring safe discharge
- About advocacy in assisted living facilities and nursing homes and how they differ
- About COVID-19 related guidance and any current state executive orders
