| FRIA's Mission is to improve the quality of long-term care in New York, with a special focus on nursing home residents, and assure that all older Americas receive prompt, high quality and compassionate care. We seek to accomplish this by helping friends and relatives become more informed and effective caregivers for the needs of their loved ones. Our main tools are our free telephone helpline, advocacy on individual complaints as well as policy issues, organizing and assisting family councils within nursing homes, consumer education publications, and presentations and workshops for family members, community groups and professionals. FRIA’s voice is respected and solicited by legislators, policy makers, and caregivers.
FRIA believes that informed, empowered consumers make better
decisions about eldercare for their own family members and improve
care for everybody. Our opinions are respected and solicited by
legislators, policy makers, and families. FRIA is widely recognized
as the leading independent, consumer orientated source of information
about all aspects of eldercare.
