Month for fireworks in long term care
It’s a month for fireworks, especially for long-term care
July. It always means one sure thing around this country: heightened anticipation of fireworks.
This year, more than ever, you could also call it a time for heightened fireworks anxiety. Especially since long-term care is getting an enhanced batch this year.
The first parcel actually came earlier this week in Wednesday’s release of the final Phase 3 guidance for the Requirements of Participation. At 876 pages, this whopper would require its own keg of gunpowder to send it flying. An idea more than a few providers might entertain soon enough.
