FINAL CHANCE TO REGISTER! Enhancing Resident Care and Reducing Unnecessary Resident Hospitalizations in Nursing Facilities: A 5-Part Virtual Interdisciplinary Hospice Education Series Jointly Sponsored by Mass Senior Care Association and the Hospice & Palliative Care Federation of Massachusetts

Join us for a dynamic and informative program on Thursday, April 25, 2024 at the DCU Center in Worcester.

Mass Senior Care will once again be offering AHCA/NCAL Quality Award workshops to help members better understand how to complete the application from beginning to end with coaching support along the way from expert trainers.

Nominations for the 2024 AHCA/NCAL Awards Program are now open. AHCA/NCAL members are strongly encouraged to nominate those inspiring leaders and unsung colleagues who go above and beyond to provide exceptional service in the long term care profession.

We are inviting you to join us next Tuesday in sharing the “Simple Step” campaign materials that were created through the Simple Step Coalition last year.

At an event earlier this week to highlight Care Workers Recognition Month, President Biden noted that his Administration plans to finalize the CMS nursing home staffing rule in the coming weeks.
