Earlier this month, Michigan Elder Justice Initiative (MEJI) was proud to announce the launch of new and improved websites for both MEJI and the Michigan Long Term Care Ombudsman Program (MLTCOP). These new websites are the culmination of a year-long process that included the creation of a new MEJI logo and visual identity.
The MEJI and MLTCOP websites are updated, fresh, and, most importantly, accessible for clients, community members, and all those who need information about issues impacting older adults and adults living with disabilities. They contain multitudes of information that will help these populations and the people who work with and advocate for them to better understand their rights, options, and the services available to them. The MEJI website includes dedicated landing pages for two of its ombudsman programs, MI Health Link Ombudsman (MHLO) and the MI Choice, Community Transition Services, and PACE Ombudsman Program (MICPOP).
“We are so excited to launch the new MEJI and MLTCOP websites,” said Alison Hirschel, Program Director of MEJI. “With new, modern design and easy to navigate interfaces, these websites will make it much easier for older adults and people with disabilities in Michigan, their families, caregivers, and advocates, to get the accurate information and services they need.”
“As the main avenue for improving the lives of long term care residents, it is critical for MLTCOP to have a well-designed, easy to access website that provides information to residents and their families,” said Salli Pung, Michigan State Long Term Care Ombudsman. “The new site provides clear, concise information that will make it easier than ever for people to contact their local ombudsmen and resolve their long term care issues.”
MEJI is deeply grateful to Gravity Works for their partnership and expertise in developing these new sites.
MEJI seeks to empower, educate, and protect low-income older adults and adults living with disabilities on issues that have the greatest impact on their independence, health, dignity, and security. We marshal our legal and advocacy skills to support these at-risk populations in overcoming injustice and inequity, enforcing rights, and achieving quality of life and care.
The MLTCOP strives to improve the quality of care and quality of life experienced by residents who reside in nursing homes, homes for the aged, and adult foster care homes. Ombudsmen work at the direction of residents to help resolve their concerns, provide education on a variety of topics including resident rights and abuse prevention, and serve as a resource to residents, staff and the public on long term care topics.
