20 closed in 2018 - 11 so far in 2019 - 35+ more lined up to unnecessarily close! The message we need MA to send is that we don’t and won’t accept being ranked 4th worst in the Nation for funding care for our most vulnerable frail and elderly #SaveOurSeniors @MassGovernor

“skilled nursing providers are nearly underwater” in MA 20 nursing homes has closed in the past year - more then half operating in the red. @massgover @MLSudders @SpeakerDeLeo @KarenSpilka #mapoli #SaveOurSeniors

@JohnHammann @NextStepHC How about the Medicaid crisis and MA being one of the lowest in the Nation-using 2007 base year costs, imagine living on what you made in 2007 today! 20 nursing homes closed in the past year and more on the brink

Mr. Rogers said "Love seems to be something that keeps filling up within us. The more we give away, the more we have to give." If only Medicaid reimbursement worked the same way #SaveOurSeniors @MLSudders @SpeakerDeLeo @KarenSpilka @SenRodrigues @RepMichlewitz @NextStepHC

Aging with grace and humility takes dignity. When our elderly need help, they turn to their loved ones. Their loved ones turn to us for compassionate quality care. We are now turning to you. #SaveOurSeniors #SOS @NextStepHC @MassGovernor @MLSudders @SpeakerDeLeo @KarenSpilka

@MassGovernor You tweeted about making MA #AgeFriendly & we couldn’t agree more. Please use your position of power to ensure that those in nursing home facilities receive the quality care they deserve by updating the Medicaid reimbursement rates. #SaveOurSeniors #SOS @NextStepHC
