About Me

AARP includes more than 680,000 members in Tennessee. The active and diverse volunteers are part of seven regional teams across the state from the Tri-Cities to Memphis. Advocacy efforts to improve long-term care in Tennessee and improvements for Medicare in Washington were among successful efforts in 2008. This year, much of our focus is on improving the quality of care in nursing homes and health care reform on the federal level

Tennessean: TN Nursing homes rank fifth worst

The Tennessean's front-page ``watchdog report'' by Christina E. Sanchez points out that the state's nursing homes once again rank near the bottom of the nation, with only four states faring worse in a new federal report. The story points out that poor staffing levels are largely to blame. ``If you increase the minimum number of hours, then you are going to be pushing those nursing homes that are trying just to get by, and by doing that, you will improve the quality of care in nursing homes,'' AARP Tennessee Advocacy Director Patrick Willard told the newspaper. AARP Tennessee has long been fighting to improve the quality of care in institutions and to provide Tennesseans with choices in how they receive long-term care services.

Right now there is not a Spring Hill or Columbia chapter. There is a Franklin chapter and there is a Nashville Regional team. Also, there are some folks looking at creating a Columbia area team. I'm happy to share more with you. Just email me at kmiller@aarp.org or call me at 615 726 5104. Also, you can find more about what's happening with AARP TN at facebook.com/AARPTennessee! Cheers, Karin
