The Nursing Facility Task Force was established in July 2019 with Governor Baker’s signing into law of Chapter 41, Section 91 of the Acts of 2019. The Task Force is charged with evaluating ways to ensure the financial stability of skilled nursing facilities; considering the role of skilled nursing facilities within the continuum of elder care services; and addressing current workforce challenges. The Task Force is chaired by the Secretary of Health and Human Services and is comprised of a diverse panel of policymakers, medical professionals, experts on long-term care and aging policy, and representatives from skilled nursing facilities appointed by the Governor.
