The organization National Consumer Voice for Quality Long Term Care has designated October as “Residents’ Rights Month” to focus attention on the many Americans living in assisted living facilities, nursing homes and other group care settings. See https://theconsumervoice.org/events/2019-residents-rights-month. The legal services needs of the elderly are many and diverse so the Social Law Library collection contains numerous resources for attorneys counseling clients about estate planning, health insurance, and housing and age discrimination among other issues.
