This timeline depicts how much has been achieved in the goal of passing visitation legislation nationwide! There have been many who have worked tireless hours to get this done, and we are thankful to each one of you who have been part of this process. There is still much more to be done, and we are optimistic that there will be a day when visitation is a national right. This has been a group effort by many individuals and organizations.
We welcome the advocacy efforts of every individual, organization, or agency in this fight against elder abuse and isolation. As we are able to unite in this mission, we will be able to bring about great change.
