Quality Care Through Equity and Action
Who We Are
We advocate for better long-term care programs so all DC residents with chronic conditions or disabilities can maintain their independence and a high quality of life where they live.
What We Do
We collaborate with a broad network of partners to develop, support, and sustain programs that benefit older adults and individuals with disabilities.
Long Term Care Crisis
Every day, more adults turn 65 and the need for direct care increases. We must ensure that the workforce, including home health aides, nursing assistants, and other workers who provide this essential service, earn a living wage.
