The Coalition of Institutionalized Aged and Disabled (CIAD) is a non-profit organization based in New York City that has been dedicated to supporting the rights and well-being of residents in adult care facilities since 1973. With a resident-led approach, CIAD empowers individuals to advocate for themselves, providing resources, training, and support to improve their quality of life and care.
Through organizing, advocacy, and policy initiatives, CIAD works towards achieving independence for residents, strengthening resident councils, and creating opportunities for transitioning to independent living. With a focus on empowerment and self-determination, CIAD has been instrumental in bringing about positive changes in adult care facilities, such as air conditioning in resident rooms and greater resident involvement in decision-making processes.
