The American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL) recently welcomed more than 600 long term care providers to Washington, D.C. for the annual Congressional Briefing. As part of the event, attendees heard from Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (NV), Representative Greg Murphy (NC-03), and Punchbowl News Co-Founders Jake Sherman and Anna Palmer.
Assisted living providers were especially focused on workforce solutions, as the demand for senior care will grow in the coming years. During the general session, NCAL Executive Director LaShuan Bethea reinforced this important point.
“Meeting future demand for assisted living services requires a strong workforce pipeline,” she said. “Achieving that goal will require a true public-private partnership. Our message to policymakers this year is simple: Help us care for the future by helping us build the workforce of the future.”
