Today was a sad day. Today was a scary day.
@FoxSubacute announced the 90-day closure notice of one of PA's only post-acute care ventilator facilities because the state funding for patient care doesn't match the actual cost of care. #WhoWillCare#MedicaidMatters#PABudget

Messiah Lifeways at Messiah Village has been rated as "high performing" in US News & World Reports' 2021-2022 Best Nursing Homes rating!
Congratulations to all team members for earning this recognition, and thank you for continuously providing excellent care to residents.
We have lost over 20% of our workforce since 2020. In healthcare, we are all interdependent- if hospitals can’t discharge patients to skilled nursing facilities and open up a bed, they can’t accept more patients from the community. https://t.co/jGhgATWGm5
Our members revealed they've lost 18% of their staff since Feb. 2020. Access to care is being limited to proactively maintain care for residents.
Providers need support: Medicaid investment, vaccine mandate alternatives & policies to support a workforce pipeline. #WhoWillCare
"Home health and personal care aides... will account for over one million new jobs in the next decade. This will be almost 10% of all new jobs created between 2020 and 2030. Unfortunately, these workers are the lowest paid on the list." #CareCantWait https://t.co/lIo46msRIQ

Since 1896, our #MondayMemberFocus, @MessiahLifeways, has offered a spectrum of health care, housing & community services. We embrace their commitment to redefining aging & what it means to grow older.
Thank you for inspiring seniors to live life fully! https://t.co/rSs6PQqkxW
I can’t agree more with @LeadingAgePA statement on these changes. Even if nursing facilities can financially support the increase in staff - where are they going to find these workers? The whole country is short staffed!
I cannot get enough of @ScientistSwanda’s videos. I really appreciated this one on viral vector vaccines because I’ve been asked a lot and needed a better understanding. Now I have it! Thanks Rob! 👊🏽💯
Hundreds of Messiah Lifeways team members and nursing care residents received the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine on January 2, 2021. When asked why they took this step, the overwhelming response from staff was “I love the residents”

Thank you @ScientistSwanda for educating us on the science behind the vaccine! Check him out! If you are unsure about the vaccine, do the research and be educated about your choice.
Here I describe a brief overview of how the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna mRNA vaccines work. Taking a vaccine is one’s personal choice, and I hope this video can help someone make that decision rooted in science.
“No care facility, no matter how excellent, can keep covid-19 away if it’s widespread in the areas where staff members live and work. To protect our most vulnerable citizens, we have to protect everyone.” Exactly. https://t.co/BXTd5Fi4sS
This resonated with me. We need to rebuild trust in the services we provide- absolutely. The perception of our industry has taken a hit through this pandemic. But rebuild? We are still in a daily battle to protect those we serve and support our workforce. We are all exhausted.
“What we’ve learned is there’s a new issue everyday, and the old issues never go away, and we continue to work on them... It’s simply what’s required in a crisis like this #pandemic.” -Katie Smith Sloan #LeadingAgeVoice https://t.co/7522D88zdi @_McKnightsSL
"We are not prisoners of the #COVID19 pandemic. Every single one of us can make a difference. The future is in our hands.

On the memorial of the Saints Joachim and Anne, Jesus's “grandparents”, I would like to invite young people to do something tender towards the elderly, especially the loneliest, in their homes or residences. Dear young people, each elderly person is your grandparent!
