GOOD NEWS --- The Tennessee Long Term Care Community Choice Act legislation is a first-step in the right direction. Governor Bredesen signs bill. MORE DETAILS HERE See JCILNOW, our Newsletter HERE Mission Statement: The Jackson Center for Independent Living is a community based, nonresidential, consumer controlled program of services designed to enable persons with disabilities to achieve maximum independence and fully participate in all aspects of community life. Facts: Consumers enjoy full and equal participation in every aspect of JCIL (the staff, board, administration, committees, programs and events) as they should in all disability organizations. Independent Living is more than token participation. IL is being in control. More Facts: A person living in a nursing home against their will is imprisoned. A person living in an inaccessible home is under house arrest. Until the state diverts adequate funds from nursing homes into home and community based care, we will do what we can to free our people not only with advocacy but with hammer & nails. At JCIL we are... Where there's a CIL. there's a way. Contact your CIL, today! CLICK HERE It's time to HELP YOURSELF!
