Survey: Independent Living Residents, Staff Feel Safe During Pandemic

by Jeff Shaw October 1, 2020

SOUTHFIELD, MICH., and CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A national survey of independent living community residents, staff and prospective residents showed that those in the community overwhelmingly felt safe so far during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, respondents said they were confident that communities had taken appropriate precautions to keep them safe. Plante Moran Living Forward, the Southfield-based senior living development consulting division of Plante Moran Cresa and an affiliated entity of Plante Moran, partnered with Retirement Dynamics, a Charlotte-based senior living consulting firm, to complete the research. In June and July of this year the companies surveyed more than 23,000 residents and staff at senior living communities across the country, along with prospective future residents. While prospects worried about social isolation, shopping and other daily tasks when living in their own homes, survey results showed only a slight decrease in their likelihood to move into an independent living community as a result of the pandemic. The survey also revealed: 92 percent of staff felt the community where they worked responded well to the COVID-19 pandemic. 93 percent of residents felt their community took all precautions to keep them safe. 85 percent of staff agreed residents “are safer in their community than in …

Nursing Homes Urge Congress to Provide Additional COVID-19 Funding for Health and Long-Term Care Providers

by John Nelson September 28, 2020

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL) has warned Congress that if the federal government doesn’t pass another COVID-19 funding package, public health agencies and healthcare providers could find themselves less than completely prepared heading into the cold and flu season, as well as underfunded to handle another major spike in COVID-19 cases. The Washington, D.C.-based organization represents more than 14,000 nursing homes and assisted living communities across the country that provide care to approximately 5 million people each year. About 70 percent of the $175 billion Provider Relief Fund provided by the CARES Act is already distributed, and remaining funds are likely to be allocated by early October. Healthcare providers, including long-term care facilities, will need additional funds to continue their response to the pandemic heading into the cold and flu season, which provides new challenges, the organization stated in a press release on Monday. Mark Parkinson, president and CEO for AHCA/NCAL, says that Congress needs to end the partisan logjam and prioritize frontline healthcare workers and residents, particularly vulnerable elderly populations. “With the cold and flu season adding a real complication to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic response, the need for …
