New Poll: Voters believe the state has broken its promise to nursing homes in Florida (more...)

OUR FLORIDA PROMISE TOLL FREE HOTLINE: Have a story to tell about how quality nursing home care affects you and your family? Call 1-888-497-5825 today, and let us know!

What's at Stake:

Every day, we’re doing something important---providing skilled nursing care to those in need across Florida. The quality of that care, thanks to funding from Florida's legislature, is better than it was in the past.

Since 2001, when the legislature passed a law requiring more skilled nursing and staffing requirements, nursing home quality has steadily improved. More importantly, the Florida legislature has provided the funding for these critical efforts.

But because of possible budget cuts, skilled nursing care--- that so many residents and their loved ones have come to appreciate and need---is in jeopardy.

We’ve kept our promise to improve the quality of care. Now we need the politicians to keep their promise, and fully support nursing homes’ ability to provide top quality care.

Learn more about this issue, join our efforts, and contact your legislator today.

We ALL must keep the promise to provide the best care to our state’s seniors!
