@TetShippee @PublicHealthUMN @UMNews Well deserved! Congratulations

[The Long-Term Care Imperative @LTCImperative]

Robert Kupec: Minnesota seniors and their families are counting on you to help raise caregiver wages. Take a look at the ad in @inforum, and please act urgently on the caregiver crisis!

[The Long-Term Care Imperative @LTCImperative]

"For years, lawmakers have promised to care for our seniors yet fail to act when it matters most." Older Minnesotans are losing access to care because there are too few caregivers. #mnleg and @GovTimWalz set funding levels--this must be a budget priority! 👇

[Care Providers of MN @CPofMN]

Special thanks to Paula Rocheleau and Jenny Gleason who spoke at at House GOP press conference today on the need to support funding for nursing homes.
Paula, did a great speaking & giving some real life examples. Jenny, focused on the need to support our staff. #mnleg

[The Long-Term Care Imperative @LTCImperative]

With low pay driving the senior caregiver shortage, many caregivers work long hours to ensure our seniors are cared for and make ends meet. @MyersVote and @Morrison4MN, two senior caregivers-Precious and Kendall-share what full funding for long-term care would mean to them. 👇

Sharlene and Tina speak on the impact of the senior caregiver shortage in rural Minnesota. Senior care settings are losing fantastic staff to jobs with higher pay and less stress.

The cost of not being able to attract and retain caregivers is devastating: seniors being turned away from care and struggling to find other options. Caregivers must be paid a professional wage. https://t.co/lLUvUXsWhH

[The Long-Term Care Imperative @LTCImperative]

🚨 According to a new survey, a jaw-dropping 63% of nursing homes in the US are concerned they'll have to close over staffing shortages. Without long-term care workers, our seniors will lose access to the skilled care they need. https://t.co/aEO2ETSvSC

[The Long-Term Care Imperative @LTCImperative]

Senior care settings are operating under massive deficits due in part to Minnesota’s broken reimbursement system for care. We need immediate investment from #mnleg to correct this crisis and protect access to care for our seniors. #FaceAging

[The Long-Term Care Imperative @LTCImperative]

Thank you, @jimabeler, for your leadership in passing the HHS omnibus bill! This important bill is critical to addressing the workforce crisis in long-term care and protecting access to care for Minnesota’s seniors. #FaceAging #mnleg

[MinnPost @MinnPost]

Opinion piece by @CPofMN CEO @pkcullen and @LeadingAgeMN CEO @KariThurlow: Seventy-eight percent of nursing homes and 35 percent of assisted living facilities continue to turn away seniors who need their services due to staffing constraints. https://t.co/r1o4ouHjb2

[The Long-Term Care Imperative @LTCImperative]

SF 3195 would invest in wage increases for caregivers to help alleviate the staff shortage and improve access to care for elderly Minnesotans.

Seniors and caregivers appreciate your support, @jimabeler! #mnleg

[The Long-Term Care Imperative @LTCImperative]

Rep. @GinnyKlevorn and Rep. Poston, thank you for co-sponsoring HF 3729 to invest in permanent wage increases for senior caregivers.

1 in 4 Minnesotans will be 65 or older by 2030. We must be prepared to give them the quality care they need. #mnleg

[The Long-Term Care Imperative @LTCImperative]

Few staff combined with low pay takes an emotional toll on senior caregivers and their residents. It's time for #mnleg to step up and permanently raise wages for people like Kayla. #FaceAging

[The Long-Term Care Imperative @LTCImperative]

Caregiving is demanding, skilled work. There is no reason that senior caregivers should need to work an extra job or exhausting hours just to get by. It's time for #mnleg to permanently raise wages for caregivers. #FaceAging

[Dan Pollock @DanPollockLGN]

Your holiday meal is a great time to tell family members that @MnOfficeHiEd will pay for their qualifying expenses of becoming a certified nursing assistant & starting a healthcare career pathway (i.e. tuition, fees, books, technology needs, test fees) https://t.co/44gQe3io3y
