📣 October is Residents’ Rights Month! 📣

This year’s national theme is “Stand With Me” — a powerful reminder that no resident should ever have to stand alone when it comes to dignity, respect, and choice.

I’m Marissa Gilcrease, your Long-Term Care Ombudsman for Region 1 with the Area Agency on Aging of Northwest Arkansas. My role is to stand alongside residents in nursing homes, assisted living, and other long-term care settings — to listen, advocate, and ensure their rights and voices are protected every single day.

💜 Together, we can make a difference:
✔️ Supporting residents as they speak up about their care.
✔️ Protecting their right to make choices about their lives.
✔️ Making sure every voice is heard and every concern is addressed.

📞 If you or someone you love lives in a long-term care facility, you’re not alone. I’m here to stand with you.
