From Senate testimony Secretary Xavier Becerra can’t tell congress how many of his 90,000 HHS.gov employees are back to work, can promote President Biden unfunded minimum staffing mandate. The hypocrisy of this failed bureaucracy is breathtakingly shameful. #WhoWillCare #skillednursing #SeniorCare
The sometimes shrill voices coming out of DC can’t change reality.There are not enough nurses to meet the minimum staffing mandate today and $75 million toward creating new nurses is 1.2% of what is actually required to create them. #WhoWillCare
Florida's long term caregivers are advocating for bold investments in our state's nursing centers to help strengthen our long-term care workforce and ensure that quality care is available for Florida’s growing aging population. #WhoWillCare #QualityMatters
What does an ADDITIONAL staffing mandate mean for Pennsylvania?
A cost of more than $540,000,000 and more than 8,000 more caregivers that need to materialize.

It's unacceptable for Medicare Advantage's most profitable book of business to come at the expense of American elders' access to quality care. We cannot tolerate a system that prioritizes profits over the well-being of treasured elders. #WhoWillCare #WeArePalmGarden
Thank you Senator Bobby Powell, Jr. for always making time for our long term professionals. With your support, we can build a pipeline of caregivers and give our seniors the quality care they expect and deserve. #qualitymatters #whowillcare
As FL's aging population grows, the need for a robust long term care workforce is critical. Thank you Rep. TJLeek for recognizing the importance of investing in our nursing centers to ensure quality care for our state's seniors. #WhoWillCare #QualityMatters
Policymakers must invest in nursing infrastructure and encourage caregivers. An unfunded mandate is a recipe for more postacute closures and demoralization of our #nurses . #WhoWillCare #WeArePalmGardenHomeHealth
9,174 net caregivers in Florida left the skilled nursing careforce because of pandemic and haven't returned- for a host of reasons- some involving childcare. Caregivers can't work from home. Minimum staffing rule will limit access to quality care. #WhoWillCare #WeArePalmGarden
Our advocates Pennsylvania Health Care Association are well-accustomed to fighting for equitable increases to sustain their operations, increase employee wages and ensure access to quality care in the commonwealth. We’ll take our fight to the Capitol in the weeks to come. #PABudget #Whowillcare
There is no supply of Nurses waiting on the sidelines (December 2023 nurse unemployment rate 1.6%, U.S. Chamber). Nor are there seats in nursing classes to educate new ones.

Care deserts. A perverse and unintended consequence of an unfunded Federal Staffing Mandate? Entirely likely. #WhoWillCare #QualityMatters
Thank you CathyMcMorrisRodgers for advocating access to quality carequality care for treasured elders. We are grateful. #WhoWillCare #WeArePalmGarden
CMSGov must require transparency from #MedicareAdvantage . Prior authorization process- using complex 'proprietary' algorithms- should be available for public review. This is an access to quality care issue. #WhoWillCare #WeArePalmGarden #HomeHealth
By 2060, the number of persons older than 65 will double to 95 million. Where is the investment in nursing infrastructure to meet the growing demand of our aging population? Where is the leadership Secretary Xavier Becerra? #WhoWillCare
President Biden Acting Secretary Julie Su asking US Department of labor employees to show up to work only 5 days in a two week span sends the wrong message to skilled nursing caregivers who show up 7 days a week to care for treasured elders. #WhoWillCare
