The Center on Aging, University of Minnesota, is seeking volunteers for a project to improve the way older people and their families make decisions about long-term care.

They are conducting brief videotaped interviews with older people or family members who have had experience with nursing home care, assisted living, or home care. To participate in this project, and be interviewed about your experience with choosing among alternatives for long-term care, contact Jake Priester at the University of Minnesota at pries001@umn.edu or 612-626-3549.
