LOWER MERION On Tuesday, May 25, thousands of nursing home workers at 41 facilities across Pennsylvania, including those in Wynnewood, rallied to demand better staffing and other improvements to the nursing home industry that will save lives.
âShort staffing not only hurts us, it hurts the people weâre responsible for and care for our residents deserve better,â said Tisheia Frazier, a CNA at Saunders House in Wynnewood. âAnd offering us hotdogs and candy is not a way to improve working conditions, it s an insult. Pay us what we are worth!â
For decades, caregivers have sounded the alarm on chronic and dangerous understaffing, poor recruitment and retention of workers, and unacceptable conditions which created a system that could not withstand a global pandemic. PA ranks as one of the worst states for COVID nursing home deaths, having lost over 13,000 residents since the pandemic began.

Updated May 18 at 8:00 PM All autumn leaves and red brick, the town of Rutherford Falls is an idealized but embattled Northeastern backdrop for the new Peacock original comedy series bearing the same name. Also fictional are the Minishonka, the Indigenous nation adjacent to the town. Invented tribal people aside,
Rutherford Falls star and staff writer Jana Schmieding still feels the dynamics of her Oregon youth resonating throughout the new show, created by Ed Helms, Sierra Teller Ornelas and Mike Schur. The similarities exist in how the show’s townsfolk interact with the Minishonka what Schmieding calls a “blissful liberalism” that can translate to “a safe version of erasure and racism.” That dynamic smacks of her experiences growing up in and around Canby and Eugene and how white Oregonians related to her Lakota family and larger Native community.
