Patients need safeguards now. Take action! ➡️ new-futures.org/SUD-Oversight#action

Many NH substance use disorder (SUD) treatment providers deliver high-quality, evidence-based care, but there is also misconduct. There's no way for patients/families to know where to find safe, effective care.

One in four NH adults is caring for loved ones who are aging or have a disability. ❤️ Family caregivers average 27 hours/week caring for loved ones while spending $7,000/year in out-of-pocket expenses. NH caregivers need more support.

New report says NH’s caregivers need more support
Caregivers often work fulltime, while also watching over adults and children with disabilities. A new report underscores the need to support those people, as well.
