With an alarming new Omicron COVID variant, it’s anyone’s guess as to when things may get back to normal. Perhaps we are living in a new normal. Whatever the case, there is no denying that our most vulnerable senior citizens are at risk – especially when they are confined in nursing homes. Adding to the stress of this scenario are record numbers of the labor shortages within nursing homes, particularly unsettling is a nursing shortage crisis.

It currently has the 3rd highest number of nursing homes, third only to much the larger states of Texas and California.
