The annual Congressional recess, happening now through September 2, is a crucial opportunity to engage with federal legislators back home, offer them a community tour, and show them what we do!
Everyday, prospective residents and their families tour senior living communities as they decide where they next want to call home. But it’s not just prospective residents who need to see our communities. We also need lawmakers—those who are best positioned to advocate for senior living policies—to see our communities so they understand how we differ from other long-term care settings and how they can best support our policy priorities like addressing our workforce needs and making our communities more affordable.
Now is the time to reach out to your members of Congress and invite them for a tour. The first step is to download our toolkit which contains a step-by-step guide on how to host lawmakers. Want to hear from those who have already executed events? Watch this testimonial from Tana Gall, President of Merrill Gardens, and Michael Queene, General Manager of The Pines of Newmarket, as they shared their experiences in meeting with and hosting lawmakers for visits at senior living communities.
