Long Term Care Ombudsman (Systemic Advocacy)

MEJI seeks to empower, educate, and protect low income older adults and adults with disabilities on issues that have the greatest impact on their independence, health, dignity, and security. We marshal our legal and advocacy skills to support these at-risk populations in overcoming injustice and inequity, enforcing rights, and achieving quality of life and care.

MEJI is honored to work with individual clients to attain their goals. Those individual cases, along with MEJI's work in many coalitions, inform its systemic advocacy and help identify advocacy priorities. MEJI uses all of the tools in its toolbox -- administrative and policy advocacy, litigation, coalition building, and education efforts -- to achieve systemic reforms.
