COVID has been devastating for nursing homes and the long-term care sector. Disproportionate death rates and a steep drop in staffing levels continue to threaten the viability of institutions that Americans have come to rely on. This panel will discuss the current state of nursing homes in particular, but will also examine longer-term issues of funding, organization and quality of service.
This talk is made possible through the generous support of the Winston Foundation. Parking is also free in parking lots on your left immediately before the flashing crosswalk as you travel west on College Hill Road. Head toward the round yellow two-story building behind the parking lots.
