Training is vital for these much needed small assisted living communities.  These businesses not only support the growing older population but provide a unique and affordable option to many seniors in need of care.  These businesses need to be able to grow and educate their teams to be strong and more supportive to their clientele. Limiting their access to training options will reduce the opportunities to provide continuing education to their team; thus reducing the quality of care providing to this growing segment of senior care.  A segment, I might ad, that is much needed in our community. 

Putting additional financial burdens on these communities will only increase the cost of care to the senior population who are in need of such services.  But will continue to increase the rising cost of care in our community.  These communities are a vital part of the aging senior care community and provide a huge role to families in need. Costs are already high for many.  

Thank you for considering the appeal to this amendment. I know there is a way to work together resolve this issue.  I highly support the growth of small assisted living communities to grow and support their teams.

Thank you for your consideration.
