📊 New insights from the University of Michigan National Poll on Healthy Aging reveal that Americans aged 50-64 experience more financial stress due to poor health compared to those 65+, who often rely on fixed incomes. This groundbreaking research, supported by AARP and Michigan Medicine, uncovers the surprising fact that it's not the seniors relying on Social Security or retirement savings who feel the most financial pressure. Instead, it's those approaching retirement age. Additionally, the poll highlights the financial strain on caregivers, with 14% reporting significant stress due to caregiving demands. Franciscan Ministries wants to open the conversation and discuss how we can better support these groups facing financial stress. Our communities promote health, safety, and wisdom on a daily basis, and we want to hear your thoughts on how everyone in the senior living industry can step up and help our communities of aging adults find solace and support.

Exciting news! The White House has just announced a whopping $244 million in grants to boost registered apprenticeship programs nationwide. This significant investment aims to expand, strengthen, and diversify training programs, ensuring a steady pipeline of skilled workers. Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su emphasized that these initiatives are not just temporary fixes but are designed to create real job security for workers and their families. Importantly, the senior living industry stands to benefit greatly from this funding. By addressing the critical staffing needs in senior care, healthcare, and hospitality services, we're moving closer to filling the estimated 20 million caregiving positions needed by 2040. This is a step forward in ensuring our aging population receives the care they deserve, while also providing job seekers with valuable, in-demand skills. Franciscan Ministries' commitment to workforce development in the senior living sector aligns perfectly with these initiatives, furthering our mission to serve our communities with compassion and care.
