CAHCF Member-Hosted Facility Tours are an Essential Component of the CAHCF 2026 Medicaid Advocacy Campaign!
Facility tours are an essential component of the overall CAHCF 2026 Medicaid advocacy campaign. The facility tours enable state lawmakers to see firsthand how important your skilled nursing facility is in the district. Moreover, CAHCF members must begin alerting state legislators that a substantial Medicaid investment in Connecticut nursing homes must be made in the 2026 Session of the Connecticut General Assembly. Facility tours have proven to be one of the long-term care sector’s best grassroots lobbying tools. These CAHCF resources and guides make inviting state legislators to your buildings a simple process.
To find your elected officials online by your facility address, use the CAHCF/CCAL Legislative Action Center. Enter your facility street address and zip code; left-click on “GO.”

We strongly encourage you to read AHCA/NCAL’ s “How To” Guide to Facility Tours for Elected Officials – A guide to help you arrange a tour of your facility for any elected official.
