What is Elder Voice Action Network?
Elder Voice Action Network (EVAN) is a public resource dedicated to supporting individuals facing elder abuse or neglect within the long-term care system. EVAN provides a clear and unbiased guide to help you confidently address these issues in nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities, and assisted living facilities.
The mission of EVAN is to empower individuals seeking advocacy, action and education. In pursuit of this goal, EVAN delivers simplified and consolidated information, ensuring ease of access for those confronting such challenging circumstances. Recognizing the inherent difficulty and emotional toll of addressing these issues, EVAN stands as a reliable platform, offering information obtained exclusively from official and trusted public resources. Please refer to the references page of this website for a list of sources and citations.
EVAN is built to inspire action through awareness and public education, encouraging more people to file complaints and take tangible steps. While one complaint alone may not stop elder abuse or neglect, a collective effort can push politicians and the government to consider essential long-term care reforms. EVAN serves as a catalyst for positive change, making strides towards a more transparent and compassionate eldercare system.
