On today’s International Nurses Day, let’s take a moment to acknowledge the backbone of elder care! 🩺 In Austria alone, over 460,000 seniors rely on professional nursing services—a figure expected to rise to more than 650,000 by 2050. Despite this growing demand, there's already a shortage of skilled workers in the sector. This urgency drives us at 120 Ventures to explore innovative solutions that will bridge the gap and meet this pressing need for effective, sustainable, and accessible elder care! Interestingly, elder care in Austria is predominantly female, both among caregivers and those receiving care. More than 70% of seniors in residential and nursing services are women, and this pattern holds true across other care services as well. On the caregiving front, women account for more than three-quarters of professional nursing staff and two-thirds of all family caregivers nationwide. With this in mind, a heartfelt thank you to everyone, especially all the women, who keep our care systems together! And since today is also Mother's Day, a special shout-out goes out to all the mothers as well! We'd love to hear your thoughts on this! What innovations do you think are crucial for the future of elder care? #InternationalNursesDay #TagderPflege #MothersDay #ElderCare #WomenInHealthcare #120Ventures

When one half of a couple needs nursing home care, it can take an emotional toll on all involved. And when that time comes, families deserve a nursing home team who are partners on the journey of caregiving. Critical to that partnership are communication, trust, and involvement. When one spouse needs nursing home care, it’s not an act of “giving up.” Instead, it’s quite the opposite: it’s providing that loved one the care and quality of life they deserve, through adding quality, qualified bench depth, capability, and capacity. It’s a partnership of compassion. Make sure you find the right partner for that caregiving.

If you’re a nursing home resident, participating in a resident council is one of your RIGHTS. It’s also your right to receive a timely response from the nursing home team when your council makes a request or suggestion. Sometimes nursing home teams may require more time to respond to resident requests. If this is an issue in your community, consider using a simple ACTION FORM 📝. The form helps you document a request and your proposed solutions, and it tracks how and whether the nursing home team has responded. 🌟 Test out the Moving Forward Coalition’s sample Action Form here: https://lnkd.in/eGzzPVp6 💡 It’s just one of the fantastic resources in our Strengthening Resident Councils Guide, which you can find at https://lnkd.in/eHAfMjri: https://lnkd.in/eHAfMjri #ResidentCouncils #ResidentsRights #MovingForward #NursingHome

This is an article that provides very good practical advice on choosing a nursing home. It discusses how to use Medicare's nursing home compare feature, stating that it is not the end all or be all means of selecting a facility with good quality care. It also points out how important it is to focus on staff turnover, as well as who owns the nursing home. At Rothkoff Law Group, we have a team of knowledgeable Elder Care Coordinators, whose extensive familiarity of area nursing homes will also help to ensure that your loved one gets the best care possible. https://lnkd.in/ecGAmx-q

Excellent article in the NYT about assessing a nursing home for your loved ones. One key suggestion I would add is to utilize your state's website for nursing home administration to review required staffing levels and compare them to the facility's actual headcount.

The Unjust Treatment of Seniors in Skilled Nursing Facilities Today, I want to shed light on a troubling issue that affects some of the most vulnerable members of our society – our seniors who require 24-hour care. It's heartbreaking to hear stories of elderly individuals being forced out of skilled nursing facilities, not because their health has improved, but because of financial motivations. These facilities, which are supposed to be sanctuaries of care and compassion, sometimes prioritize profit over the well-being of their residents. This unjust treatment is not only unethical but also inhumane. Our seniors deserve dignity and respect, especially in their later years when they are most dependent on the care of others. Instead of being discarded, they should be given the comprehensive and compassionate care they need and deserve. We must advocate for stricter regulations and oversight to ensure that skilled nursing facilities uphold their duty to provide continuous, quality care to all residents. ‼️Profit should never come before people, especially those who have spent their lives contributing to society and now need our support the most.‼️ Let’s stand together to protect our seniors and ensure they receive the care and respect they deserve. Share your thoughts and experiences – it’s time we make a change. #ElderCare #SeniorRights #NursingHomeReform #CompassionateCare #AdvocacyForSeniors
