Call on your representatives in Congress to support more COVID funding for nursing homes

More than 3,000 U.S. nursing homes last month had a shortage of nurses or other direct-care staff, and it's a crippling problem that has existed since last May. For most of last year, more than 200,000 people at any given time were in nursing homes suffering from staff shortages, which caused patient care to suffer, COVID cases to spread and more workers to get infected, or get stressed and quit.
