ASSISTED LIVING GETS 290K GRANT TO SUPPORT EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EFFORTS

There are many lessons learned to be taken from the COVID-19 pandemic, especially for assisted living facilities. A lack of preparedness, less than stellar funding, and staffing shortages were just a few of the vulnerabilities exposed.

“The plans will cover “any and all” cause emergencies, according to Amy Hewett, VHCA/VCAL vice president of strategy and communications, including man-made and natural events, severe weather, power outages, chemical spills, environmental hazards, active shooter events and disease outbreaks.”
