This legislation repeals the 2-year mandatory “lockout” for in-house CNA training programs based on the level of fine received by the nursing home. Instead, the bill requires the suspension to be lifted when the nursing home comes back into compliance.

September 25, 2019 Washington DC – LeadingAge, the association of nonprofit providers of aging services including skilled nursing, welcomes today’s introduction of H.R. 4468, the Nursing Home Workforce Quality Act, by Rep. Dwight Evans (D-PA) and Rep. Ron Estes (R-KS).
Here’s an overview of our work for you in September 2019.
Citing the importance of direct care workers in all sectors of the long-term services and supports field, and the millions of workers who will be needed in the next five years, the bill establishes grants to recruit, retain, and support direct care workers. Funds will be available for innovations and strategies on training, career pathways, mentoring, and other ways of making long-term services and supports an attractive career option.
Having issues finding qualified staff for your community? LeadingAge Illinois reached out to its state Department of Human Services Division of Rehabilitation Services (DRS) for help after learning about a program providing training to individuals with disabilities to work in different settings.
LeadingAge’s commitment to developing the workforce pipeline and mitigating the workforce shortage took a step forward with the launch of the LeadingAge University Advisory Council. The purpose of the advisory council is to provide practical input, advice, and resources to LeadingAge on its ongoing student initiatives, and to identify opportunities for LeadingAge and its members to partner with universities.
LeadingAge has worked intensely on H.R. 4434, a bill to reauthorize the Older Americans Act, (OAA), which expands basic services (food assistance, caregiving, part-time employment, etc.) to allow Americans to age independently, and with dignity.
