Description: California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform (CANHR) provides residents' rights and pre-placement information through a toll free consumer hotline (800) 474-1116 or 415-974-5171 and website (www.canhr.org).

Mission: Since 1983, CANHR has been dedicated to improving the quality of long-term care. Through community education, legislation and litigation, it has been CANHR's goal to remind decision makers of what needs to be done about long-term care; that this "forgotten population" consists of our mothers and fathers, our husbands and wives, our brothers and sisters, and that their suffering is our shame.
