Staffing shortages across health care facilities are now causing nursing homes to freeze admissions.
As some parts of the state are seeing a ray of light in the fight against COVID-19, others are dealing with the same battles.
“Then when COVID hit, we had just a lot of people who left the profession because [they] collect unemployment, because they were tired of being beaten up,” said Van Runkle. That freeze also halts hospitals' abilities to transition patients from the ER or ICU to another care facility, holding up hospital beds.
“We recognize that we're a partner in the whole healthcare system and...any resident that we can take from a hospital leaves an open bed for a new patient in the hospital environment. So we take that very seriously and we want to be good partners with our hospital affiliates. We don't want to do anything that would that we wouldn't be able to manage,” Herron said.
