Tracking the impact COVID is having on nursing homes, the AARP Nursing Home COVID-19 Dashboard reports on data at the state level, examining resident and staff cases and deaths, staff shortages, and vaccinations. In this recent AARP Policy Now video, Susan Reinhard, AARP senior vice president and director of the AARP Public Policy Institute, says one solution to help decrease infection rates and mortality is to address staffing shortages. That can happen by improving salaries, providing adequate sick leave, and focusing on worker careers.
