@SSBenfield @DrOzCMS There are struggling non-profit nursing homes that exist to serve their Medicaid residents and that do not receive enough funding to support that care. Not all nursing homes are for profit. HR1 is gutting already inadequate funding for these nursing homes across the country.

[Sebrina Barrett @sbarrett01]

If Weinberg, a model NH that served 140 residents/employed 300 caregivers can close, it could happen anywhere. NYS must invest in NHs in this year’s budget. New York nursing homes push for Medicaid reimbursement rate increase https://t.co/9l4bxvxooK @CarlHeastie @SenatorASC

[Sebrina Barrett @sbarrett01]

Joined LANY members, AM Carrie Woerner & other legislators to urge NYS to fund nursing homes, including more, permanent funding in this year’s budget & restoration of the capital cut. Thank you to AM Woerner and her colleagues for standing with us! @LeadingAgeNY

[Sebrina Barrett @sbarrett01]

“Reimbursement for long term care has been so low for so long, that more and more of our members are closing their doors,” which will impact the full continuum for healthcare across the state. @LeadingAgeNY

[Sebrina Barrett @sbarrett01]

Honored to represent LeadingAge NY at today’s joint senate and assembly Health budget hearing, advocating for greater investments in long-term care for older New Yorkers and others who need care. @LeadingAgeNY

[Sebrina Barrett @sbarrett01]

What a wonderful day at the Capitol, advocating for funding for services for older adults in New York State. Many thanks to our members who came to tell their stories and explain how important more funding is to the entire system. Let’s keep the momentum going!

[LeadingAge New York @LeadingAgeNY]

It was a successful day of advocacy for LeadingAge New York members & staff in Albany yesterday! TY to the many lawmakers & staff who met with us on the need for a 20% nursing home Medicaid rate increase & other investments to meet the LTC needs of older NYers. #OlderAdultsMatter

[Sebrina Barrett @sbarrett01]

@SenatorBrouk is a champion for older adults in NYS, their families and the workers who care for them. Thank you! @LeadingAgeNY

[NYS Senator Samra Brouk @SenatorBrouk]

Today, I met with Rochester-based nursing home operators to discuss challenges in caring for older New Yorkers. Thank you for ensuring our aging adults & care facility staff receive the help they need. I am committed to investing in health systems, care workers & families.

[Sebrina Barrett @sbarrett01]

Supporting aging residents is one of the top challenges @aclnys members face; they need better resources to better care for these residents. We call on NYS to increase funding so we can update our housing models & provide needed care. @govkathyhochul @NYSomh @SenatorBrouk

[Association for Community Living @ACLNYS]

ACL Exec Director @sbarrett01 penned an article in @BehaviorHlthNws addressing NYers who are “aging in place” in mental health housing without care needed for an aging population. Thanks to @CSHInfo for partnering with us on our aging in place initiatives. https://t.co/iE4bmqfQ9D

BREAKING: The Kamala Harris campaign just released their first ad. Retweet to make sure every American knows who Kamala Harris is and what is at stake this November.

[Sebrina Barrett @sbarrett01]

Literally on a @SouthwestAir flight and fellow passengers all talking and not happy about this — “they didn’t ask me”—and if they charge extra for assigned seats, this seems like a money maker to me, b/c w/ open seating, you only pay the fare unless you want priority boarding.

[WFAA @wfaa]

BIG CHANGES: Southwest Airlines is moving to assigned seating for the first time and also offering premium options. The company says 80% of customers prefer an assigned seat.

ACL Exec Director @sbarrett01 ‘s opinion piece in the @timesunion urging NYS Legislators to include a 3.2% across-the-board COLA in the FY2025 state budget to absorb rising costs & pay a living wage to the mental health housing workforce: https://t.co/DhmKdfYPTI

[Bring It Home Campaign @BringItHomeNYS]

It’s #NationalCaregiversDay & #bringithomenys applauds caregivers for their dedication to NYers needing assistance to live life w/dignity, including NYS mental health housing (MHH) staff like Latoya. MHH programs need a 3.2% COLA in the ‘24/25 budget! #betterfundingforbettercare

[Sebrina Barrett @sbarrett01]

@jeffpearlman @GovParsonMO 100%. It would be political suicide for him to do anything else as my home state’s Governor. One of the reasons I’m glad I no longer live there. I’d rather be where politicians value people more than guns.

[Patrick Quaife @pquaife]

I just ran away from a mass shooting at the Chiefs parade where I saw the Missouri governor (the gun lover below) running scared for his life next to me with an army of officers protecting him.

I am so sick of these NRA funded politicians. #GunControlNow

[Sebrina Barrett @sbarrett01]

Mental health housing models are decades old. We are asking our direct care staff to perform miracles w/ old models & paying them less to do it. Our residents deserve to live in programs that meet today’s needs; staff deserve to work in modern models where residents can succeed

Thank you for your support and leadership!!

"There are no more corners to be cut. There are no more pennies to be pinched,” said Sebrina Barrett @ACLNYS as she discussed needs of staff who care for New Yorkers living with severe mental illness - a population growing older with multiple co-occurring conditions @sbarrett01

[Sebrina Barrett @sbarrett01]

Beautiful.
