This week, Mass Senior Care members and staff took part in the AHCA/NCAL Congressional Briefing in Washington D.C., to advocate for nursing facility care and bring the profession’s legislative priorities to Capitol Hill. Mass Senior Care met with Congressman Richard Neal, Congressman William Keating, and legislative aides from the offices of U.S. Senator Ed Markey, Congressmen Jake Auchincloss, Seth Moulton, Stephen Lynch, Jim McGovern and Congresswomen Katherine Clark, Ayanna Pressley. In these meetings, members focused exclusively on staffing challenges and the detrimental effect a CMS 4.1 staffing mandate would have on access to nursing facility care.
