Residential Care Facilities Staffing NeedsDear Stakeholders:
The Staffing Shortage Fusion Center and Residential Care Strike Team staffing group have provided staffing solutions in response to the COVID-19 staffing crisis at residential facilities since late November 2020. Teams covered over 2,500 shifts in 10 weeks.
Now, with the staff and residents of these facilities getting vaccinated and Colorado’s positivity rate below five percent, the need for state supported staffing in response to COVID-19 is coming to an end. The Staffing Shortage Fusion Center will be phased out by the end of March 2021.
The timeline and information about how to stay connected with ongoing resources follows.
The State will continue to monitor EM Resource regularly in an ongoing effort to assess and respond to anticipated staffing shortages at residential care facilities. In accordance with Public Health Order 20-20, please continue to submit daily reports in EM Resource.
