Community Meeting Room

Join us for an informative and enlightening evening as author Richard Danford presents his new book that uncovers the dark side of the nursing home industry.

Learn how today’s nursing homes came about, what tragedies occur daily, and what consumers need to know to protect themselves when choosing a facility.

At a time when nursing home conditions are once again in the media, Be Aware of That Nursing Home offers a valuable perspective not commonly available to potential nursing home consumers and family members.

About our presenter: Richard Danford brings over four decades of heartfelt leadership and empowerment to the table. His unwavering dedication to this cause has resulted in numerous awards and recognitions from consumers, family members, service providers, and elected officials at every level, from local to national. With a wealth of personal experience and a profound understanding of systemic issues, Richard offers invaluable hands-on insights that illuminate the challenges faced by older adults. His unique perspective on long-term care and its significant impact on the quality of life for consumers and their families is truly remarkable. Richard's impactful efforts have attracted widespread media attention, being featured in newspapers, public radio, and television.

This event is co-hosted with Napa Bookmine.
