LeadingAge Maryland has joined forces with 21 LeadingAge State Affiliates and 20 Attorneys General in a lawsuit seeking to overturn CMS' Staffing Mandate. We share CMS’ goal of ensuring older adults and others have access to high quality skilled nursing care. We have continued to advocate, along with LeadingAge National, that the staffing mandate as written is untenable, given the documented shortage of registered nurses and other nursing professionals in our state and across the country. Our membership includes some of the state's oldest, not-for-profit mission-driven nursing homes, many of whom have decades and even century long histories in their community. We are proud to take this opportunity to advocate on their behalf. We invite you to learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eM84g8X9

Today is Ageism Awareness Day! The truth is ageism can impact us at any age. However, a 2020 poll found that about 82% of individuals ages 50-80 experienced ageism on a daily basis. #endageism #ageismawarenessday #asaging

BREAKING NEWS! LeadingAge Maryland joins 21 LeadingAge State Affiliates and 20 Attorneys General in a lawsuit to overturn CMS’ staffing mandate and vacate certain of the more onerous requirements of the rule. “The Final Rule as written is untenable and unattainable for our members. While we support CMS’ goal of quality care and enhanced access to care for all older adults, this rule will not ensure those outcomes and instead will have negative impacts upon skilled nursing providers in Maryland and across the country,” LeadingAge Maryland President & CEO Allison Ciborowski said. “Not-for-profit nursing homes in Maryland, who support many of the most vulnerable in our state and who often have decades and even century-long histories serving their communities, are being forced to contemplate closing units and buildings altogether because they cannot meet this mandate.” ? In Maryland, the estimated cost of CMS’ staffing mandate equates to approximately $642,000 per nursing home, each year. Collectively across the state, that totals $142.5 million annually in additional expenses for nursing homes in Maryland.
