Interconnected: The Future of Nursing Homes & Elder Care Across Minnesota

Nearly 17% of Minnesota residents are now over age 65, a significant increase since the year 2000. Further, as older members of the Baby Boomer generation age into their late 70s, the demand for skilled nursing beds will likely increase – yet Minnesota has lost 33% of its skilled nursing beds since 2005. How our state provides care and support for older adults is a critical policy concern, especially in light of alarming data highlighting nursing home closures and financial challenges across the state. On November 13th, the Citizens League of Minnesota along with the Center for Rural Policy & Development hosted a webinar bringing together an expert panel conversation about this crisis and a new report from the Center for Rural Policy and Development on the future of nursing homes and elder care in greater Minnesota. Panelists: Kim Brenne, Interim Division Director of Nursing Facility Rates and Policy, Minnesota Department of Human Services Erin Huppert, Vice President of Advocacy, LeadingAge Minnesota Kathy Messerli, Executive Director, Minnesota Home Care Association Barb Jezorski, RN and COO, TRU Healthcare Jason Anderson, Director of Long-Term Care Services, Sanford Canby Medical Center – Sylvan Court & Sylvan Place Moderated by Kate Raddatz, McClung PR
