RECENT SUCCESSES

• The Campaign persuaded the state to reverse its longstanding illegal policy that barred some residents from returning to their previous room in the nursing home after a hospital stay;

• The Campaign participated in a successful effort to limit cuts in hours of service to thousands of participants in the Home Help program.

• The Campaign’s proposal for an easily accessible, standard complaint form became one of the first pieces of legislation Governor Granholm signed after taking office.

• The Campaign served as a plaintiff in the groundbreaking federal court case that forced the state to reopen the MiChoice home and community based waiver program so that long term care consumers can receive care in their own homes instead of in nursing homes. The lawsuit also required the Governor to create the Governor's Long Term Care Task Force which is now considering numerous ways to reform  Michigan's long term care system.
