Although California spends nearly $5 billion in Medi-Cal funds per year on nursing home care, discrimination against Medi-Cal-eligible residents is systemic.
Since 1983, California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform (CANHR), a statewide nonprofit 501(c)(3) advocacy organization, has been dedicated to improving the choices, care and quality of life for California’s long term care consumers.
