The Nursing Home Advisory Group met recently with 159 participants for the “1st Birthday” of our call that was relaunched in February 2021. Kara Jacobs-Slifka, lead for the Long-Term Care team in the Division of Healthcare Quality and Promotion at CDC joined the group to discuss the latest updates to CDC guidance, including dissecting some of the rationale behind these changes and how CDC is thinking about long-term care in the face of the omicron surge. In the coming days, we will provide a summary of this call that will also be shared on our website and the LeadingAge Member Community. The Nursing Home Advisory Group call will not take place in March due to the LeadingAge Leadership Summit. The next call is scheduled for Tuesday, April 26th at 1 PM Central. Please email Jodi Eyigor at jeyigor@leadingage.org if you would like to be added to the group.
