Over the past several months, we've searched and summarized those resources that might be of most help to our friends in senior care. In case you missed them, here they are. And note, most of them have a colorful infographic, checklist or flyer for you to email/print/share with staff, residents and families. Just click the image at the top of each blog.
In addition, McKnight's Long-Term Care News did an excellent job highlight the 7 top long-term care stories of 2020. Included in this article are summaries of each of these:
- ‘Shocking’ therapy cuts slated for 2021
- Unprecedented federal action bans most nursing home visitors
- CMS paves way for resuming visits at nursing homes
- Nurse aide training, certification requirements waived
- Readmission resident-screening rules changed
- Feds distribute point-of-care COVID-19 tests to all nursing homes
- COVID-centered, infection control training for nursing homes unveiled
We hope this recap serves you well and as always, thank you for your tireless efforts to care for our senior community in 2020. Like you, we look forward to a new year with less COVID-19 and more business as usual.
Have a safe and happy holiday season and cheers to a new year!
