TOMBALL, Texas, March 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Joshua White, COO of Health Services Management (HSM) and Kevin Baxter, Vice-President of Operations for HSM, joined forces with HSM Administrators, Tamra Hampton, Brent Gardebled and Chrystal Stalder and the Texas Health Care Association, to meet with Texas State Representatives and Senators last week at the Texas Capitol to express their gratitude for their support during this Legislative Session and also delved into various concerns such as recruitment, inflation, and the need for higher wages that have greatly impacted the senior living industry.

Lawmakers were interested in learning more about the challenges faced by nursing homes and assisted living facilities over the last 3 years. Joshua and Kevin shared their insights on how the staffing shortages in the industry had reached critical levels, and the need for resources to be invested in programs to organically grow Licensed and Registered Nurses and solidify the means for this career path. Additionally, they explored the impact of inflation on the industry, resulting in increased costs that have burdened the facilities and families of residents. They collectively discussed viable solutions to the challenges and shared a positive outlook for the future of the senior living industry.
