Workforce has long been a challenge in the LTC sector. Creating pathways for the next generation is one way to alleviate those challenges. We are proud to celebrate the passing of SB116 and truly appreciate the leadership of @SenatorArgall.

Thank you for all your support of #Pennsylvania seniors in the state #budget. Enacting a BAF floor is an absolute game changer.
Sen. Kim Ward@SenatorKimWardAug 7
There are around 70,000 Pennsylvanians in nursing homes. In this budget,@PASenateGOP ensured that our nursing homes are better funded. A lot of you may have family & friends in nursing homes & it is important that they are fully staffed & have the resources to take care of them.

The experience on @united has been rough. From no wifi on multiple flights, to canceled flights, to screens not working, it’s just been rough. This has to get better.

This is what leadership looks like. Thank you to @GovernorShapiro and the General Assembly for supporting LTC in #Pennsylvania. This begins to right a 20 year wrong and provides the stability and predictability that providers have long deserved.
Pennsylvania Health Care Association@PHCA_CaresJul 13
🏛️ A VICTORY FOR LONG TERM CARE! The achievement of a new .86 BAF floor will bring vital stability to providers across the commonwealth. This milestone represents more than $800M in total investments, safeguarding essential access to care for our most vulnerable residents!

This is the year to right a 20-year wrong and fix LTC reimbursement in #Pennsylvania! Pennsylvania is talking and everyone is listening! @SenatorPittman @RepBradford @GovernorShapiro @RepMcClinton @Senatorcosta @SenatorKimWard
Pennsylvania Health Care Association@PHCA_CaresJun 29
PA’s nursing homes are at a breaking point. An outdated 20-year-old BAF means providers get just 80 cents on the dollar for care. It’s time to stop balancing the budget on the backs of seniors. Establish a 0.90 BAF floor now. 🏥 lillydigitalmedia.com/nursin… #CareNotCuts

The BAF is destroying reimbursement for LTC in PA. This is the year we right a 20-year wrong! .90 BAF Floor, let's go! @PHCA_Cares @SenatorKimWard @SenatorPittman #Pennsylvania #StateBudget @SenHughesOffice @Senatorcosta @RepBradford @RepMcClinton
