Advocacy

We Speak Up For Clients & Caregivers

We strive for dignity and continued independence for elders and people with disabilities, but sometimes we have to advocate for them. Many in-home and community-based services and benefits are paid for by a variety of state and federal funding sources. These services should never be lost. Better still, opportunities can be expanded. The people we serve have earned it.

It isn’t easy for any of us to keep up with
all the issues. But we’ll keep a lookout,
and when necessary we like to know that
our friends and families in the region are ready to stand with us.

Whether it’s in our towns, in Boston, or in Washington, D.C., let’s be ready to get the ears of the decision-makers buzzing with the message that our clients’ needs affect individuals and families throughout our service area: how well they are nourished, how well they interact, their sense of everyday dignity, and sometimes how long they live.

May we add you to our action list? Contacts won’t be frequent, but if we think you would like to know about and act on an issue, we want to tell you how you can help. You can also stay informed about issues impacting Tri-Valley’s services if you receive our newsletter.
