A bipartisan bill that the @MichaelJFoxOrg is calling “the first-ever legislation solely devoted to ending #Parkinsons disease” has been introduced in the House by @RepPaulTonko and @RepGusBilirakis.

The National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act (H.R. 8585) calls for the secretary of @HHSGov to carry out a national project to prevent and cure #Parkinsons, to be known as the National Parkinson’s Project. mcknightsseniorliving.com/home/news/firs…
If the National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act passes, @HHSGov would create a public-private advisory council that would report every year to Congress on its progress and impact on ending #Parkinsons.

@Argentum @LeadingAge
“Longstanding, chronic underfunding of HCBS in our country, and the resulting workforce shortages — exacerbated by the pandemic — mean millions of older adults and families’ requests for care are going unfilled." — @LeadingAge mcknightsseniorliving.com/home/news/prov…
“More support ... is critical. Because without staff, there is no care.” — @LeadingAge mcknightsseniorliving.com/home/news/prov…

Thanks to @BethMace, who spoke with me about #seniorliving occupancy increasing for third quarter in a row, led by #assistedliving. Read more about the news from @Natl_Inv_Ctr / @NIC_MAP here. mcknightsseniorliving.com/home/news/seni…
Average #seniorliving occupancy (IL+AL) was 80.6% in the 1st quarter, which marked a 0.2 percentage point increase from the 4th quarter of 2021 and a 2.5 percentage point increase from a pandemic-related low of 78% in the 2nd quarter of 2021. mcknightsseniorliving.com/home/news/seni…
#Assistedliving led the way in occupancy growth in the 1st quarter, with independent living occupancy declining slightly, although occupancy was higher in independent living than in assisted living. mcknightsseniorliving.com/home/news/seni…

#YearInReview: 2021 began with the hope that the new #COVID19 vaccine would help control a pandemic that had caused so much illness, death, loneliness, isolation and worker fatigue in long-term care in 2020. ow.ly/F7gP50Hhvso #seniorliving #YIR
#YearInReview: #COVID19 vaccines, boosters and corporate and federal mandates still dominate life for #seniorliving workers and operators. mcknightsseniorliving.com/home/news/big-… #YIR
