A transformation is in play.

What a story! One that we need to share broadly! The Ensign Pennant partnership! We are cut from the same cloth. Parellel core values, both organizations together on a mission to improve the care continuum. To provide life changing service in the post acute space. Our skilled nursing partners hosted some of us this week where we openly talked about what we need to do in order to improve our care across our organizations. Main takeaways- these are true partners, we need to embrace the EPCC partnership and treat them like cluster partners. Learn their buisness, meet often, share best practices, assist with opportunities and collaborate on new and innovative ideas on how to improve our care continuums, but most of all….tell the story. We have had significant growth in both Skilled nursing and HH Hospice we need to ensure our new employees know this relationship! So….tell the story!

Did you miss our fantastic Coalition Conversation with Stephanie Allred, Deputy Associate Commissioner of Licensing, Policy and Training at State of Texas Health & Human Services Commission? Stephanie shared how #Texas is clarifying its policies for nursing home licensure and data collection, as well as CNA certification. Any state could replicate these simple steps at limited cost and with huge benefit to multiple nursing home stakeholder groups. It's really a no brainer! 💫 Learn more about this work in Texas and how you can replicate it in your own state: https://lnkd.in/e2WTe6zK [You can find all referenced resources linked in the video description.] #MovingForward #NursingHome

The Federal Government through CMS is attempting to improve the care in nursing homes by increasing the minimum staffing requirements. The State of Iowa is among the lead plaintiffs suing the federal government to stop the standards from taking effect. The Iowa Attorney General, Brenna Bird, in defense of her position, stated: “Our seniors spend a lifetime investing in our communities. Now, we need to invest in them by ensuring they have access to the care they need. I am suing to stop the Biden-Harris attack on senior care that will force nursing homes out of business, increase costs for families, and remove access to senior care altogether." Apparently, attempting to require more care is about harming seniors. At least according to the Iowa AG. Hopefully, not according to those who truly care about care for our seniors. https://lnkd.in/eziMdmjX
