Advocacy
Bethany Life Communities is an active advocate of strong public policies in protecting our senior and elders. We support reform which will continue to bring the highest quality of care to seniors in the most efficient means. As our aging population grows, governmental action will need to occur to assure that funding is available to all seniors who are unable to pay for quality care.
We encourage you in becoming an advocate in any way you feel comfortable. Below you will find links to websites that keep you informed on issues relating to senior care.
