MFY Legal Services has launched the Nursing Home Residents Project to provide legal advice and advocacy to the more than 40,000 New Yorkers who live in nursing homes and their families. The program continues the work of the Friends and Relatives of the Institutionalized and Aged (FRIA), a group that was suspended last year due to a lack of funding.
“For the last year, it’s been a struggle to figure out what to do with calls we got from [nursing home residents] facing serious problems,” said Kevin Cremin, director of litigation for disability and aging rights at MFY. Though MFY was not affiliated with FRIA, Mr. Cremin noted that the two organizations often coordinated, with MFY referring nursing home residents to FRIA.
