📣 WORKFORCE WIN: Senate Bill 115 is moving forward!
SB 115 was unanimously reported out of the Pennsylvania House Human Services Committee with no changes — another important step toward strengthening Pennsylvania’s long-term care workforce.

The legislation would remove an unnecessary barrier that can prevent otherwise-qualified individuals from working as direct care staff in personal care homes and assisted living residences simply because they do not have a U.S. high school diploma or GED.

For long-term care providers continuing to navigate significant workforce challenges, we need commonsense solutions that expand pathways into caregiving careers, recognize the skills and qualifications individuals bring to the workforce, and help providers recruit the caregivers they need to serve Pennsylvania’s seniors.

Thank you to House Human Services Committee Chairman Rep. Dan Williams, Republican Chairman PA State Rep. Doyle Heffley and members of the committee for their unanimous support of this important workforce legislation.

PHCA is proud to support SB 115 and looks forward to continuing to advocate for its passage.

Norriton Square Nursing and Rehabilitation Center recently hosted Senator Amanda Cappelletti for a tour of their facility, providing the Senator with a firsthand look at the care and dedication staff provide to residents.

The visit provided a valuable opportunity to meet with administration and frontline healthcare workers to discuss the critical concerns facing the long-term care industry. Direct communication between facility leadership and lawmakers is crucial for addressing ongoing challenges, such as the healthcare workforce shortage and Medicaid funding structures.

After engaging with the residents during her visit, Senator Cappelletti promised them that she would continue to fight for the long term care industry and advocate for these vital resources in Harrisburg.

Tom Doherty was already awake and ready for today's Dream Fight when his caregiver came to his room to remind him. "I remembered, I've been ready!" Tom laughed. Having served in the U.S. Navy during the Korean war, Tom loved his Dream Flight and will take today's memories back to Transitions Allen Cove with him.
