LeadingAge Virginia is proud to recognize Margie Price, Wellness Director at King's Grant Retirement Community, as the recipient of the Workforce Champion Award!

For 17 years, Margie has brought energy, compassion, creativity, and a whole-person approach to wellness at King’s Grant. Her philosophy, “We Can Wellness Can,” has become more than a motto, it has helped shape a culture where residents and team members are encouraged to move, connect, learn, laugh, and thrive.

Margie goes above and beyond every day. She creates engaging programs that meet residents where they are, brings experts to campus to support lifelong learning, encourages team members to prioritize their own wellness, and is always looking for another way to make someone's day a little brighter.

Please join us in celebrating Margie and thanking her for the incredible impact she has made on residents, team members, and the King’s Grant community!

👏 Congratulations, Margie!

LeadingAge Virginia Featured in CBS 6 Nursing Home Accountability Coverage

Dana Parsons, Vice President & Legislative Counsel at LeadingAge Virginia, was recently featured in a CBS 6 article discussing the Virginia Department of Health’s proposed guidance for nursing home enforcement and accountability.

The proposed guidance could shape how Virginia responds when nursing homes have repeat violations, serious health and safety concerns, or other significant compliance issues, making it an important conversation for providers, residents, families, and the broader long-term care community.

In the article, Dana highlights LeadingAge Virginia’s support for strong oversight and accountability while emphasizing the importance of fair, consistent enforcement that considers the circumstances of each situation and provides providers an opportunity to correct deficiencies.

LeadingAge Virginia is committed to working collaboratively with the Commonwealth to strengthen oversight while supporting quality care and better outcomes for residents.

In “Internships, Innovation, and the Leaders of Tomorrow,” Melissa Andrews sits down with UVA students and LeadingAge Virginia summer interns Maddie Walsh and Ritvika Palani to talk about their experiences in aging services—and the issues they’re already working to change.

🧠 Maddie shares her work exploring virtual reality as a tool for building empathy for people living with dementia and sensory loss.

🏛️ Ritvika discusses her work exploring workforce solutions and engaging with legislators on CCRC regulations.

🤝 Together, they talk about the power of mentorship, meaningful internships, and why investing in emerging leaders is essential to the future of our field.

The future of aging services is being shaped by the leaders who are stepping up today. Give this episode a listen and hear directly from two of them. 🎧 https://leadingageva.buzzsprout.com/

📢 Advocacy Alert 📢

The Older Americans Act (OAA) Reauthorization Act (S. 2120) passed the Senate with unanimous bipartisan support and is now under consideration in the House.

The OAA is the foundation of our nation’s aging services network, supporting critical programs such as nutrition, caregiver support, transportation, health promotion, and other services that help older adults remain healthy, independent, and connected to their communities.

Now is the time to make your voice heard. Contact your U.S. Representative and urge them to support reauthorization of the Older Americans Act.
