Senior living leaders recently weighed in on what the year ahead might look like and what changes need to prioritized. Among the top issues:

- Wage/reimbursement pressure and a regulatory system that focus on punishing operators instead of helping them were huge weights on the industry in 2020. In 2021, we need to advocate for change and have a place at the table with policymakers.
