A staffing mandate will not create applicants. And when nursing homes cannot meet this impossible standard, they will have to reduce the number of residents they serve or close entirely, exacerbating the current access-to-care crisis. #HelpUsHire https://t.co/pZJVQO83eV

As we kick off National Assisted Living Week, GHCA would like to recognize our dedicated assisted living membership for going above and beyond and never giving up amid this ongoing pandemic. Thank you for all you do to care for and protect your residents! #NALW
Congress is deciding what will be included in the next stimulus package. We ask they do not overlook the true heroes of this pandemic: long term care workers. These caregivers need every resource possible to keep seniors safe.
Our ask: https://t.co/ihtRORoB4i
“Nursing home workers, including nurses, nursing assistants and support staff, have quietly become the heroes of this pandemic.” Congress must ensure #LTCHeroes get every single resources they need to keep seniors safe. #CareNotCOVID https://t.co/3aXhie5EKY
While the testing and funding announcements from @whitehouse and @hhsgov are a step forward for long term care facilities fighting COVID, it is equally as important for hot spot funding for the hardest-hit & Congress to provide additional support in the next stimulus bill.
Long term care providers have received just 4.3% of CARES Act COVID relief funds despite caring for the most vulnerable population--frail seniors. These providers desperately need more relief in order to keep themselves and their patients safe. https://t.co/1IboUaFXdM
"As caseloads continue to increase in areas around the country, it has never been more important that nursing homes have what they need to maintain a sturdy defense against the virus." --@SeemaCMS

Our residents and #LTCHeroes need support. That’s why we’re calling on Congress to prioritize long term care as it makes considerations for the next round of #COVID19 stimulus funding. https://t.co/ihtRORoB4i
“What we need now is to rally around assisted living communities like the country is now doing for nursing homes.”
Assisted living communities still care for some of the most vulnerable Americans but have not received a dime of federal support.

Keeping seniors safe means keeping communities safe. Even if you think you are at low risk for COVID, your actions still impact the most vulnerable around you.
Wash your hands and wear a mask.
