“While nursing homes are better able to manage COVID-19, the pandemic has exacerbated a historic labor shortage, creating an access to care crisis for America’s seniors and a capacity issue for other health care providers, like hospitals. Meanwhile, the economic recovery of the industry remains in limbo, as the chronically underfunded sector begins to lose vital COVID financial aid in 2023.”
