Consumer Services - New York, New York, United States
I'm Howie Arthur "Whitey" Kalish. I am a Consumer of Long Term Care Services and Supports (LTCSS) as a Nursing Home Resident at Beth Abraham Center here in the Bronx, New York City, USA. I have been a Consumer of Long Term Care Services and Supports here at Beth Abraham and in other Long Term Care settings since July 2007. I am also the Founder and Executive Director of the Long Term Care Consumer Intelligence Agency. We were founded in 2011 and we are nationally headquartered in New York City, New York, USA. We are a benevolent, non-profit and private brash and impertinent young "wet-behind-the-ears" upstart non-governmental organization, at the service of the public interest, with a truly "catholic", "fundamentalist" and "radical" (in the historical sense of these three words) focus and perspective. The tireless words of encouragement and endorsement from good friends like you serve as an inspiration for the choice of our "second act" in lifework. Today, we stand committed, without apology or reservation, for our signature causes of Consumer Choices and Preferences for Long Term Care, Culture Change in Long Term Care, Consumer Directed Long Term Care, Consumer Rights of Access to Quality Long Term Care Services and Supports, and Applied Gerontechnology. "Always do right. This will gratify some folks and astonish the rest." ~~ Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) (November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910).
