LeadingAge Affiliates with
Visiting Nurses Association of America and ElevatingHOME
LeadingAge took an exciting and strategic step last week in entering into an affiliation agreement with
Visiting Nurse Association of America (VNAA) and
ElevatingHOME. From our initial conversations several months ago, it was clear that we had much in common with these two organizations (EH is the parent of VNAA). Mission, deep roots in the community, a drive towards quality, a commitment to our staff clients and residents and constant attention to what's on the horizon.
The affiliation will be final following a VNAA/EH member vote as required by their bylaws, which will happen later this year. With the ink dry on the affiliation, these two organizations and their members will be part of LeadingAge. During this transition, we are welcoming VNAA/EH members into LeadingAge, treating them as members and encouraging their engagement.

Fraternal Statement from Franciscan Friars of Holy Name Province on the Closing of Holy Name Friary in Ringwood N.J.
Holy Name Friary, the skilled nursing care facility owned and operated by Franciscan Friars of Holy Name Province, will be closing. The process of relocating the Ringwood facility's residents to other skilled nursing homes, and helping place its employees in jobs and other locations, is already underway.
An exact date of closure has yet to be determined. The Province said that all services at the 29-bed facility would cease by the end of this spring. Holy Name Friary has been serving elder and infirm Franciscan friars since 1990 on the 7.5 acre property located at 2 Morris Road in Rindwood.
HNP has retained in a consulting capacity Trinity Health, one of the largest, multi-institutional Catholic health care delivery systems in the country, to assist in designing and implementing an exit plan that involves placing the 23 senior and infirm Franciscan Friars- who are currently receiving elder and health care at the Ringwood facility - in private nursing homes in the New Jersey- New York region.
As part of the plan, Trinity Health will also sponsor a job fair and work closely with employees to make every effort in identifying employment opportunities and helping to place them in positions at other skilled nursing care facilities.
The decision to close the Ringwood facility is the culmination of an 18-month study by a task force assembled by the Provincial Minister to evaluate HNP's existing services and all possible future options for the care of elder and infirm friars. The Province voted on and approved the new skilled nursing and health care model at the 2018 Chapter...

Policy Update
From LeadingAge Nationals in Washington D.C.
March 15, 2019
Overview:
President Trump presented his fiscal 2020 budget proposals to Congress on March 11. LeadingAge has a number of concerns about the proposed budget across all federal aging services programs.
Fortunately, the President's budget proposal is just the first step in the budget and spending process for the fiscal year that will begin on October 1, 2019. It is now up to congress to determine spending levels for federal programs and whether any policy changes will be made. LeadingAge will work with policymakers to ensure that aging services providers have the resources to meet the needs of people as they age.
In the regulatory arena, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and other agencies have issued a number of new rules and other directives. Members of Congress are concerned about the quality of federal and state nursing home oversight, as indicated by the March 6 Senate Finance Committee hearing on abuse and neglect in nursing homes....
