Why is Elderly Advocates an Important Organization to Have?

As far as we know, it is the first of it’s kind in Ohio. It is an organization that serves the public. It is led and run by advocates and concerned citizens in Ohio. It is a network that includes residents, family members, healthcare workers, those that lead Elderly Advocates and those that volunteer and support it. We started out wanting to be that organization that raises funds and gives away and posts pictures of items given to residents in long-term care homes. However, we quickly saw that the residents and families were in dire need of advocacy and help in getting needed care. This kind of gap to fill or help does not come in a gift box or in a picture, it comes from the heart of those wanting to truly help in a meaningful way where they need it the most.
