Resident & Family Council Empowerment Project in Tennessee

We are pleased to invite your facility to participate in the Resident & Family Council Empowerment Project, a one-year initiative designed to strengthen independent councils in Tennessee nursing homes.
This project will provide training, tools, and technical assistance to enhance resident and family advocacy, awareness of rights, and collaboration with facility leadership—aligning with CMS goals for person-centered care and transparency. Your commitment will help elevate resident and family voices, improve care outcomes, and foster inclusive engagement across your community. As a representative of the facility listed below, I affirm our support and commitment to participate in the Resident & Family Council Empowerment Project, a statewide initiative led by Alliant Health Solutions to strengthen independent resident and family councils in nursing homes.
We recognize the importance of resident and family engagement in promoting person-centered care, transparency, and quality improvement. By participating in this one-year initiative, our facility will receive training, tools, and technical assistance to enhance council effectiveness, inclusivity, and collaboration with leadership.

We understand that participation includes:
Designating a point of contact for project coordination
