Nursing Home Residents Moved Out To Make Way For COVID-19 Patients

A message from Senior Care Training owner Tracy Greene Mintz, LCSW: I'm not Black. I won't pretend to know how Black Americans feel. As a social worker, I carry the complex grief of social injustice in my heart and feel the passionate anger in my soul. I hope the Black community hears our compassion, love, and commitment to work toward ending racial disparities. Call it out. VOTE IT OUT 11/3/2020.

California and 28 others states have rules that state no one who works in a healthcare setting can decide who does or doesn't get to vote. If your resident gets a ballot in the mail, give it to them. If they want to vote on Tuesday, make it happen. 🇺🇸️

Happy Social Work Month to all social service staff in skilled nursing and beyond. We know our residents as people, not beds. Thanks to you and the Administrators & IDT members who support you for all you do!
