National skilled nursing week is a great reminder for everyone who works in the industry, that we are all advocates for the industry. With the largest age wave approaching in the next 50 years, it is important that as many people who work in nursing homes recruit new talent to the industry, promote the amazing work that employees do everyday, dispel dated and ageist stereotypes, and work to lobby for less suffocating regulations and legislation, and better reimbursement. Nursing homes care for the same acutely ill patients that hospitals do, but for a fraction of the reimbursement that hospitals receive. Nursing homes are the best value in healthcare today, but dangerously underfunded…and with demand dramatically increasing for years to come. A “double whammy.” Our legacy is important, and every voice matters. Whether it’s on a local or larger platform…we all have the opportunity to advocate! I feel so proud and fortunate to work in this industry alongside individuals who provide such compassionate and competent care to the aging individuals within the communities they operate in. #nursinghomes #healthcare #nursesonlinkedin Honor Aging
