Return guest Cinnamon St. John from the Center for Medicare Advocacy joins this episode to continue the discussion on Legislative Updates. We talk through points presented in the White House Fact Sheet: Protecting Seniors by Improving Safety and Quality of Care in the Nation’s Nursing Homes released by the Biden Administration. The reforms presented are overdue in the long term care industry and we have high hopes these non-partisan reforms will take place.
What you will hear about:
- Improved staffing standards
- Accountability and transparency
- Private equity ownership
- Career pathways established for staff
- Emergency preparedness
We also consider resident and family involvement in care choices and how to amplify their voices to restore the public perception of the long term care community. Also, a special appearance by sometime co-host Finn!!
Mairead Painter is the Long Term Care Ombudsman for the state of Connecticut and a leader who is building strong community ties in the challenging area of long term care. She brings her expertise to address issues and solutions to Your Care-Your Rights-Your Voice podcast.
