On April 16, 2024, Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), and Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) introduced S. 4120, the Long-Term Care Workforce Support Act. The bill has 22 additional cosponsors, 20 Democrats and 2 Independents.

This legislation seeks to improve shortages in the long-term care workforce by increasing the number of direct care professionals in rural areas, improving compensation for these professionals, and improving the quality of long-term care for families, among other things. NOSSCR supports this legislation.
