The resolution SR 2753 urges the Governor of Rhode Island to conduct a comprehensive workforce analysis for the Rhode Island Veterans Home in Bristol, which has been operating below its licensed bed capacity for nearly six years due to ongoing staffing shortages. These shortages have hindered the opening of a 32-unit wing and have significant implications, including increased costs for residents, reduced federal reimbursements, and heightened stress for families and healthcare workers. The resolution emphasizes the need for a thorough examination of factors affecting staff recruitment and retention, such as wage competitiveness, shift differentials, and career advancement opportunities.

Additionally, the resolution calls for the Department of Administration to develop a corrective action plan based on the analysis, which should include a timeline for achieving full occupancy at the Veterans Home. It also requests that the Governor's budget proposal for fiscal years 2027-2028 incorporate the recommendations from this plan. The resolution is introduced by Senators Ujifusa, DiPalma, Felag, Euer, Kallman, Appollonio, and was introduced on February 27, and referred to the Senate Special Legislation and Veterans Affairs.
