About the Webinar Going into the pandemic, the seniors housing and care sector was already struggling with the supply and cost of labor. When unemployment skyrocketed, some believed that would begin to alleviate the supply problem. But early on, it did not seem to have the expected effect, as many potential employees were scared off by the risk of working in senior care where so many residents and staff had contracted the virus, not to mention that the supplemental unemployment benefits were a disincentive to taking on a new job. Under the Biden administration, there will be a push for a $15 federal minimum wage, if not higher over time, a level that will cause financial harm for some... Read More »

We lost a true patriot this week, Colin Powell, and I had the fortunate opportunity to meet him at my brother’s swearing in ceremony at the State Department. I think I committed a faux pas, however, as I brought his autobiography with me and asked him to sign it. I guess you just don’t do that with a sitting Secretary of State, in his office. But I did, and he obliged. What bothered me about the announcement of his death was that the family stated it was from complications from COVID-19. The reality is he was 84 years old, had Parkinson’s Disease and multiple myeloma, a cancer of plasma cells that suppresses the body’s immune system. The bottom line is that he was in bad health...
