WALA Featured on Open Record Podcast

WALA Advocates for Our Members

WALA President & CEO Mike Pochowski is continuing to champion greater transparency for Wisconsin consumers searching for assisted living care and services.

Mike was recently featured on the Fox6Now podcast Open Record, where he discussed proposed legislation aimed at bringing greater accountability and transparency to paid referral agencies operating in Wisconsin. The proposed changes could help protect vulnerable seniors and their families as they navigate important care decisions that often occur during stressful and urgent circumstances.

Through advocacy and education, WALA remains committed to ensuring Wisconsin families have access to clear, trustworthy information when choosing assisted living care.
