PEER has expended across the commonwealth and includes participation of residents and family members, advocates, long-term care ombudsmen, clinicians and caregivers from all levels of care from independent living to skilled nursing facilities.
The program encourages long-term care residents to learn how they can improve and uphold the quality of care they receive by becoming advocates for themselves.
