This week, CommonWealth Magazine published an op-ed, "Nursing home sector on verge of collapse" authored by Matt Salmon, CEO of SALMON Health & Retirement and Chairman of the Massachusetts Senior Care Association. In response to the current financial conditions of long term care facilities, Salmon calls on the state and federal government to make meaningful investments to stabilize the skilled nursing facility sector. "Greater investment is needed immediately to prevent further erosion of the state's nursing home system. We are not a sector putting profit above care. We are a profession that makes tremendous sacrifices at both the financial and personal level to give our elders what they deserve: great care and peace of mind for them and their families."
