Career-sustaining wages for caregivers matter to Minnesotans, especially our seniors who need care. Will you stand with older adults and their families this session, #mnleg? MN must adequately fund long-term care! bit.ly/3B8WGKW

The Long-Term Care Imperative applauds health care strike teams; every step helps. With 23,000 caregiver positions open in long-term care across our state, we need bold solutions to address Minnesota’s shortage of caregivers.

STUNNING: 23,000 positions in long-term care are open across MN. 🚨🔊
We urge lawmakers to address the crisis in caregiving immediately to help provide emergency staff, respite and higher wages.

Gayle Kvenvold of LeadingAge Minnesota calls on lawmakers to pass emergency funding to pay for staffing to keep care homes from closing
Libbie K. Chapuran retweeted
We are facing record-level workforce shortages in LTC. We have 23K unfilled positions in MN, up from 8K last year. When it comes to caring for seniors, our state leaders have a track record for finding solutions together. That's exactly what we need now.

Libbie K. Chapuran retweeted
Nearly 70% of nursing homes and 1/4 of assisted livings are limiting admissions due to lack of staff to care for additional residents. We need action now so MN’s seniors have access to quality care when they need it, in all the communities they call home.
