It's #SAD to see #NursingHomes, including "non-profits" & their million $ lobby associations, crying about minimum #safestaffing stds that are well below levels necessary to provide safety, no matter dignity. skillednursingnews.com/2024/04/why-le…
Minnesota's #WorkforceStandardsBoard just voted that by Jan. 1, 2027, nursing home CNAs will earn at least $24 per hour, trained medication aides will earn at least $25 per hour and LPNs will earn at least $28.50. Rhode Island, it's your turn! @maxnesterak minnesotareformer.com/2024/04/29/min…
“If nursing homes are unable to hire additional workers, we need to understand if this is because they can’t afford to due to low Medicaid payments or because they are hiding profits in related party transactions.” @DavidCGrabowski latimes.com/california/sto… @LATstevelopez
"Raise the Bar applauds the Biden administration for this historic step"..."But we "urgently need enforcement of our own staffing standards, which align with higher minimum-staffing standards recommended by experts." #CareWeek providencejournal.com/story/news/pol…… @antoniafarzan
“In their unchecked quest for profits, the #nursinghome industry has created its own problems by not paying adequate wages & benefits & setting heavy nursing workloads that cause neglect & harm to residents & create an unsatisfactory & stressful work environment.” @rn_harrington
"It is long overdue to prioritize the most fundamental, the most basic, the most impactful changes that are known and understood by everyone to protect and enhance residents' lives: staffing." - Dean Lerner, former Iowa Assistant AG desmoinesregister.com/story/opinion/… @DMRegister
Connecticut families deserve answers! "Department of Public Health is wading through a backlog 2,400 unaddressed complaints from nursing home residents, their families or others, and another 1,300 complaints related to incidents at hospitals" @RICurrent rhodeislandcurrent.com/2024/04/17/com…
Valerie Robertson has been a CNA for 48 years and currently works at Pawtucket Falls. In her time there, it has been bought and sold multiple times, most recently to a NJ for-profit owner. With each upheaval, resident care suffered. WATCH her story here: bit.ly/ValerieRTB

A month after Cold Spring Hills Center in NY was ordered to pay more than $2M in restitution, the facility is now held in content for failure to pay $2.65M for employee healthcare. EXACTLY why we need #financialtransparency. mcknights.com/news/troubled-…
According to the new UCLA study, if tunneling profits was ended, "The unreported profits are enough to fund a 29% increase in the number of registered nurses across facilities, according to the study." anderson-review.ucla.edu/nursing-home-i… @AndersonReview
“The For-Profit Nursing Home Scam.” Well done article w/an excellent quote from Sam Brooks @ConsumerVoices. All of the research points in the same direction: hidden profits while too many vulnerable residents & staff suffer. jacobin.com/2024/04/nursin…
Is April on your calendar as @401Gives? Set a reminder, and help the Mental Health Association of Rhode Island to meet our goal and ensure that every Rhode Islander who needs treatment can get it.youtu.be/LINFfKHMoxM
For-profit nursing home owners are pulling out all the stops to repeal a law that was never enforced and while trying to prevent new oversight... why? Maintaining the status quo means maintaining their profit margins. providencejournal.com/story/news/pol… @antoniafarzan
Heartfelt thanks to @antoniafarzan for her great coverage of this important legislation! @DawnEuer @Rep_Jason providencejournal.com/story/news/pol…
It's important that seniors have options and supports so they can age in place and remain in their homes, if that's what they choose. A great option is creating more accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, which enable seniors and others to live independently while being near family.
This is historic. The Rhode Island labor movement is standing with the tenant movement and standing up for public housing development and a tax to crackdown on housing speculation. Pat Crowley from @riaflcio was on fire 🔥 providencejournal.com/story/news/pol…
Members of the Senate, including @MeghanEKallman, @jakeforri and @DawnEuer, took part in @reclaimri’s Thursday press conference at the State House to highlight a package of legislation focused on housing justice. Watch the event here: capitoltvri.cablecast.tv/show/9027?site…
