Several hundred long term care leaders from every region of the nation are on Capitol Hill today advocating before U.S. Senate and House lawmakers to let them know that long term care funding stability is a primary prerequisite for continued improvements in nursing home care quality, and that the safety net programs our nation's most vulnerable population of seniors and disabled citizens depend upon are protected, defended and preserved.
"Protecting, defending and preserving the financial stability of America's key safety net programs in the decades ahead is vital to the well being of our most vulnerable population of seniors and disabled citizens," stated Bruce Yarwood, President and CEO of the American Health Care Association and the National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL), which is hosting its 25th annual congressional gathering. "Our message to Congress is that the long term care sector's funding stability is central to sustaining the care quality improvements we are working together to achieve," he said.
