Location: B130-132
The on-going healthcare saga continues to portray nursing homes as a villain believing that poor management, substandard medical oversight, low staffing numbers ill equipped to deliver care or worse staff simply not caring. So, step in the Government with increasing scrutiny. Few events in history have produced drama than the COVID-19, certainly from a human standpoint, operations, and management or even politics. This has resulted in significant changes in reimbursement and enforcement. This presentation will discuss various aspects of aging and long-term health care and the future of nursing facilities within the spectrum of aging.

  • 1. Discuss the coming changes in population and long-term services and supports
