Action for NFs and ALFs: Take this short survey to provide information about your facility’s emergency preparedness readiness.

• Responses will be accepted through February 23, 2022.

Why it matters: Your responses will help inform next steps in VHCA-VCAL’s grant project to build an emergency preparedness infrastructure to support both Virginia’s nursing facilities and assisted living facilities.

For context: VHCA-VCAL is one of nine organizations awarded part of $9.9 million in funds to assist with ongoing COVID-19 response in nursing and long term care facilities (LTCFs).

• The grants are part of the VDH Virginia Long Term Care Infrastructure Pilot Project (VLIPP) program, which is being funded by the CDC.

How it will work: VHCA-VCAL is partnering with Jensen Hughes and VDH to build an emergency preparedness infrastructure through collaboration, education, and other support of LTCFs with the goal of improving their overall readiness and resiliency posture.

Stay tuned: Jennifer Koeniger, ALFA, who is our emergency preparedness project coordinator, will be reaching out to follow up with facilities for the survey.

• To reach Jennifer, email her at emprep@vhca.org.
• Additional project details will be coming in the next couple of weeks.

Thank you in advance for responding to the survey.
