About this listen

At the moment, one of the fiercest debates in long-term care is over staffing mandates, with resident advocates calling for a strictly enforced minimum staffing standard on the federal level and industry officials protesting that there aren’t enough available workers to meet a legal minimum.

This week’s episode of “Mission Possible” brings together a group with a diverse set of perspectives on the issue: 

  • Charlene Harrington, professor emerita of nursing, gerontology, and sociology at the University of California, San Francisco
  • Chris Laxton, executive director, AMDA – The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine 
  • Amy Robins, director of advocacy at PHI, an organization representing the interests of direct care workers
  • Lori Smetanka, “Mission Possible” cohost and executive director of the National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care

Together, the panel navigates the policy prescriptions for building a robust, empowered, and sufficient caregiving workforce that can provide elders with high-quality, dignified services and supports.
