We need your help so that more lawmakers, at both the federal and state level, can tour our communities, meet with residents and staff, and better understand our policy issues and our proposed solutions. We encourage all senior living communities to host visits. To get started, please review this a [toolkit](https://info.argentum.org/community-visits-with-lawmakers) which includes sample invitations, a sample itinerary, best practices for preparing for your visit, and more.
