Emergency Preparedness in Long-Term Care

Natural disasters are becoming more frequent, severe, and widespread, creating serious risks for long-term care organizations. Floods, wildfires, extreme heat, and severe storms now impact regions once considered low risk, putting additional pressure on facilities already managing rising resident acuity and aging infrastructure. This shift raises a critical leadership question: Are we truly prepared? While organizations have emergency plans, they often aren't as prepared as they think. Good preparation requires trained staff, tested systems, and practical execution.

In today’s PATHTalks episode, Pathway Health’s Chief Innovation Officer, Dan Billings, explores the impact of natural disasters on senior service providers and care quality, as well as leadership considerations for emergency preparedness, resources, and tools for success.
