With Election Day fast approaching, nursing homes should consider reviewing guidance concerning their residents' right to vote and facilities' obligations to support voting access, while avoiding improper influence.

LeadingAge NY member social workers recently met with staff from the DOH Bureau of Quality Assurance and Complaint Resolution to discuss a wide range of issues facing social workers in nursing homes.

Learning opportunities, member calls, standard network meetings by provider type – all there for the taking.

DOH is looking to convene a small group of social workers from nursing homes around the state for an approximately one-hour call to gain a greater understanding of the role of the social worker and their responsibilities in the nursing home.

Presentation is now available on the Department's Learning Management System.

The Sepsis Prevention Assessment Tool for Nursing Homes was developed with feedback from LeadingAge member nursing homes and helps identify gaps in sepsis policies, training, and practices.

The March 9^th session will provide an in‑depth look at the evolving responsibilities and regulatory expectations shaping social work practice across long‑term care settings.

Register for the Feb. 24^th training.
