Thank you Maggie Calkins! Let's speak up together about this! If you want to show your support, complete this form: https://lnkd.in/dJtfztc9

Friends and colleagues, we need your support. Recent federal actions to freeze funding, pause stakeholder communication, and reduce federal workforce run contrary to our shared goal of improving #nursinghome quality. Nursing homes—their residents, staff, and communities—depend on federal funding, oversight, communication, and support. Together, we must tell the Administration that it has a moral responsibility to share a concrete public vision and strategy for improving nursing home quality. We must urge the Administration—including the President, HHS Secretary, and incoming CMS Administrator—to issue a joint statement or fact sheet directing federal efforts to improve nursing home and long-term care quality over the coming four years. 📄 Read our full statement here: https://lnkd.in/dpDN-cKs 🚀 Take Action with Us: https://lnkd.in/dJtfztc9 #MovingForward

The #EINSTEINOption is excited to invite you to participate virtually in the final session of the Einstein Option St. Louis Summit, taking place February 26, 2025, from 12-1 PM ET. This one-hour virtual event will summarize the key discussions, outcomes, and the next steps identified during the in-person summit held at Pere Marquette Lodge in Grafton, Illinois. It is an opportunity for stakeholders, advocates, and organizations to join a growing movement to reimagine and reinvent long-term care supports and services (LTSS) through the Einstein Option National Demonstration Project. If you're a long-time supporter and ready to roll up your sleeves or just hearing about EINSTEIN for the first time, this event is for you.

#NursingHome staffing is vital to care quality. And we tend to think about staffing in terms of two measures: absolute levels (hours per resident per day) or turnover rates. According to one study, there may be a third way: stability. McKnight's Long-Term Care News: "In a study published in Health Affairs Scholar, researchers led by Dana Mukamel, PhD, of the University of California, Irvine, defined staffing instability as the percentage of days in a quarter in which hourly per day staffing is 20% or more below the facility average." How can a conversation about stability evolve and nuance the discourse on nursing home workforce? Should CMS incorporate staffing stability into federal regulations or public reporting? 💡Let us know your thoughts. 📑 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gpeyYepP #MovingForward #Workforce
