Assisted Living Feedback Mtg at Sinclair Aug. 13

The Ohio Dept. on Aging is hosting a listening forum to hear directly from Ohioans concerning their experiences in assisted living facilities 1-3pm Tuesday, August 13. Register here to attend the session at Sinclair Community College Conference Center/Charity Earley Auditorium.

The goal is to improve the lives of assisted living residents through listening sessions hosted across the state with residents and their loved ones, facility staff and administration. Attendees will be asked to discuss how they selected their living facility and will be shown the updated version of the Ohio’s Nursing Home Quality Navigator that was first launched in February 2024 and is expected to be updated later this year.

ODA Director Ursel McElroy stated, “As we visited locations around the state last year and listened to Ohioans share their lived experiences with nursing homes, we also heard a pressing need to address care in assisted living facilities. With these new Feedback Forums, ODA will gather personal stories and suggestions from every corner of the state and use that to improve the quality of care and quality of life for assisted living residents. This is also a tremendous opportunity to get direct commentary from users on our popular Navigator and use that commentary to make the next version of the Navigator even better.”
