Attention nursing home advocates! Urge your state lawmakers to reject the twice-per-week #COVID19 staff testing mandate, one that is impossible for facilities to meet due to testing supply shortages, insufficient community testing, & limited lab capacity. https://p2a.co/eF8T56H pic.twitter.com/UOfn74VjDd
New from @LeadingAge: “Federal, state, & local policy makers must recognize that publicly subsidized senior housing communities are hotspots for #COVID19 infection & spread. These policy makers must then use a multipronged approach to mitigate outbreaks.” https://www.healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/hblog20200515.635326/full/ …
The Governor has No Clue! He screwed up and now he’s gonna make us Pay for it.
ACTION ALERT: Urge your congressional representatives to co-sponsor & enact bill H.R. 6873, the Emergency Housing Assistance for Older Adults Act, to provide $1.2 billion for #COVID19 relief for HUD-assisted senior housing! https://p2a.co/Zf3LZDQ #SupportOurSeniorspic.twitter.com/Wufj9H485F
Thank you to Senator George Borrello & @nysenategop for calling on @NYGovCuomo & @HealthNYGov to protect nursing homes, ACFs, & ADHC from #COVID19. These providers need support to care for our most vulnerable, not more unrealistic & burdensome mandates. https://bit.ly/2LPJf8Z pic.twitter.com/ff3YAIEgDi
URGENT: Join LeadingAge New York in urging state lawmakers to reject the twice-per-week #COVID19 staff testing requirement for ACFs – one that will place additional demands on limited testing capacity & divert resources from testing facility residents. https://p2a.co/foIP9ZQ pic.twitter.com/4IbXsivdXT
ACTION ALERT: Urge your state lawmakers to reject the twice-weekly #COVID19 staff testing mandate on nursing homes – a requirement that is currently impossible to meet due to testing supply shortages, insufficient community testing, & limited lab capacity. https://p2a.co/eF8T56H pic.twitter.com/aMH3pl2AEt
