Thank you to those that are calling to give testimonials of your experiences. Remember, if you can't be there, please send me a letter that you should address to the State House Legislators, House Health, Education and Welfare Rm 135 and please give dates (to-from) at what Nursing Facility and what you saw, when you spoke up what were the implementations they changed; and what was the end result?

Parking is all around the State House block. If you get there at 5:00 there is meter parking until 6, so bring some quarters. There is a lot across the Smith Street side, but this fills up and you enter only one place...the front of Smith Street. Go through security and then up stairs to 1st floor and its 135. My cell takes texting 401-440-2579.
