Welcome to Voices for Seniors

 

Voices for Seniors was founded out of unimaginable heartbreak — the loss of our beloved mother in a New York nursing home during

the earliest, most uncertain days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Like thousands of families, we were kept away, silenced, and left without answers. What began as a cry for truth has grown into a powerful movement for accountability, justice, and change.

 

For over six years, we’ve been advocating on behalf of the forgotten — the residents of long-term care facilities and their families. Through public testimony, media appearances, grassroots organizing, and direct outreach to lawmakers, we’ve become a voice for

those who can’t always speak for themselves.

​

We fight for transparency. We fight for dignity. We fight so that no other family has to endure what we did.

​

What We Do:

 

• Advocate for policy changes and real oversight in nursing homes

• Push for prosecution and accountability when wrongdoing occurs

• Mobilize families across the country to demand answers

• Support legislation like the Essential Caregivers Act

• Offer tools for families to share their stories and review facilities

​

​

Why It Matters:

 

Too many seniors were isolated, neglected, or lost their lives under preventable conditions — and families were left in the dark. We are here to change that. We believe families deserve a voice. And we won’t stop until they’re heard.

Voices for Seniors – 2026 Focus Areas:

​

In 2026, Voices for Seniors is focused on initiatives that strengthen protections for long-term care residents, promote transparency in

elder care, and provide families with the resources and education they need. Key areas of focus include:

​

• Advocating for the Essential Caregivers Act – Supporting policies that ensure family members can play an active role in the care of their loved ones.

• Promoting Nursing Home Transparency – Pushing for legislation that enhances oversight, including the use of technology to safeguard residents.

• Education and Outreach – Expanding programs to inform families, caregivers, and communities about best practices and rights in long-term care.

Through these efforts, we aim to empower families, protect vulnerable seniors, and create meaningful change in nursing home care across the state.
