March is Social Work Month. It's an opportunity to highlight the tremendous work of social workers in nursing homes and assisted living facilities across Alabama. The theme is "Compassion+Action" from NASW. #SWMonth2025

March 10-14 is National Long-Term Care Administrator's Week. It's an opportunity for residents, families, staff and volunteers to say "thank you" to the men and women who lead our buildings across Alabama.

Today, 2 out of every 3 nursing home residents rely on Medicaid for their care. With the demand for long term care growing, the role of Medicaid will become even more important. We must protect this vital program for our nation's seniors. brnw.ch/21wRjsh
