Maine Senator Susan Collins, the Chairman of the Aging Committee, joined a bipartisan group of nearly 30 Senators in sending a letter to Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Alex Azar. The letter urged him to ensure that as HHS sets guidelines for the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund (PHSSEF), they do not overlook the providers within nursing homes, skilled nursing centers, senior living communities, independent living, assisted living, memory care, and continuing care retirement communities who are caring for our nation’s seniors, as well as those with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
