Welcome to the Seniors and Workers for Quality Coalition website and the first day of the 2009 Minnesota Legislative Session!

The Seniors and Workers for Quality Coalition will be updating the website and Profiles in Care every Friday throughout the 2009 Minnesota Legislative Session. Profiles in Care are stories from workers and residents in Long-Term Care facilities in Minnesota about their day to day lives.

Our website will be frequently updated with valuable information and links with data on the rising concerns of short staffing, inadequate compensation and difficulties in this service sector. We look forward to working with legislators to provide quality care to residents, clients, and workers of Long-Term Care facilities and services in Minnesota.
