💙 A Personal Journey That Inspired MD Senior Placement Solutions 💙 Sometimes, life has a way of leading us down unexpected paths. It was during a challenging time in my own life that MD Senior Placement Solutions came to be. It all started when my beloved mother fell ill, and I found myself in unfamiliar territory, unsure of where to turn or what options were available to us. My devoted father had been tirelessly caring for her, but his own strength was waning as the years went by. We needed help, guidance, and peace of mind. In that moment of vulnerability and uncertainty, I realized that there must be countless families going through a similar experience. Families who, like us, were desperately seeking compassionate and reliable care for their aging loved ones. This realization ignited a fire within me, a passion to make a difference and lend a helping hand to those in need. MD Senior Placement Solutions was born out of that deep-rooted desire to provide support, empathy, and expert guidance to families on their journey to find the perfect senior care solution. Our mission became clear: to be a beacon of hope and a trusted resource for families navigating the complex world of senior care. Every day, we strive to walk alongside families, offering a compassionate ear, a wealth of knowledge, and a personalized approach to finding the ideal placement for their loved ones. We understand the weight of the decisions that need to be made and the emotional toll it can take. That's why we are committed to providing unwavering support, empowering families to make informed choices with confidence and peace of mind. Our team of dedicated professionals shares a common goal - to make a positive impact in the lives of seniors and their families. We work tirelessly to build strong relationships with care facilities, ensuring that our clients receive the highest quality of care in a nurturing environment. To all those who have trusted us with their stories, thank you. Your experiences have shaped MD Senior Placement Solutions into what it is today - a haven of compassion, expertise, and unwavering dedication to serving seniors and their families. If you or someone you know is facing the challenges of finding senior care, please reach out. We are here to provide guidance, support, and a compassionate hand to hold. Together, let's navigate this journey with love and grace. #MDSeniorPlacementSolutions #SeniorCare #CompassionInAction #MakingADifference

It feels surreal to be making this announcement, FINALLY. When I say finally, I mean the project I’ve officially worked on for the past year has been living in my head and heart for a decade. If you know me personally or professionally you’ve likely heard me speak on the power of community. 👩🏿🤝👩🏻 Community got me through NP school with a toddler in tow. 👨🏽🤝👨🏿 Community helped me act in response to the profound effects systemic racism has on our world. Yes, the many studies and staggering statistics helped, but it is real people that support me in working through internalized racism, unlearning, learning, and growing in the way we all must when creating change. 👨🏽🤝👨🏿 Community organizing got me through feelings of rage and hopelessness in the face of so much world injustice (full disclosure—not FULLY through this one). 👩🏿🤝👩🏻 Online community got me through my son’s leukemia diagnosis while working full time mid-pandemic, something I could write many posts about. My point is any time I’ve ever had to do, learn, or face something hard, community— collective care, has gotten me through. Healthcare providers across specialties (doulas, nurses, doctors, mental health therapists, acupuncturists, etc), are facing incredible amounts of burnout and moral injury. As providers we both experience and perpetuate a great deal of harm. It is time we recognize that this is driven by the same systemic issues that fuel the health inequities we see. The mass exodus of providers and abysmal Black maternal health rates, are different sides of the same oppressive coin. Here is my response: Togather. The only collective care platform for health justice. A community for those who care, because you can't build a better world if you're burnt out. Built by and for healthcare providers. In a practical sense Togather is: ✅ A social networking app that provides an empowered space for connection and innovation. ✅ Live touch points via healing justice circles and networking events. ✅ Personalized support through mentorship. ✅ Accredited health justice education rooted in anti-racism, liberation, and intersectionality, with invaluable tools to use whether you’re a provider at the bedside, boardroom, or classroom. Togather is a conduit for building the community we need to heal ourselves and our patients, and a catalyst for the change we need to see in our healthcare system and world. Now, with community, I am pushing past self-doubt, what-ifs, and perfectionism, and announcing Togather. I feel incredibly proud of what Togather already is, and so much excitement for what is to come with the insights and support of you all. Here is how to support Togather today: 💌 Stay connected - Join our email list @ www.togathernow.com 📣 Amplify - Share this post with your networks! I’m looking forward to co-creating a better, more just healthcare system for our patients and our providers with you. #healthcareonlinkedin #nursesonlinkedin #jointogather

Earlier this year, NASHP hosted 16 state teams and federal officials from eight agencies in Washington, DC, for a peer-to-peer learning exchange on innovative models, strategies, and policies to increase access to high-quality respite care services. Check out our new policy brief that outlines the respite innovations shared at the summit that states can replicate: https://loom.ly/v1kl1v4

On a recent #SeniorLiving industry practice call with my colleagues, we had an emotional discussion about the difficulties our clients in the space are up against. Staffing challenges, funding shortfalls, costly lawsuits, regulaltory concerns, and carrier appetites were just some of the topics raised. These issues are not unique to senior living, but because this industry serves such a critical societal need, we have a deeply personal commitment to helping our clients. We have family members who are in senior care. We are looking ahead to a future where we ourselves may require these services. And when our clients struggle, we feel those struggles on an empthatic level. This opinion piece resonated a lot with me. It speaks to the importance of senior living organizations having strong partnerships. But the relationship is two-fold. Us partners must continue to advocate, source new solutions, and stay informed on the latest developments. Sometimes that means beating down locked doors, staying up way too late searching for that stone I haven't turned yet, and refusing to take "no" for an answer. Senior living can be a daunting area to work in. Overcoming the myriad challenges isn't easy, but empowering these organizations to succeed is so fulfilling. That's why I do what I do.
