At last night’s State of the Union address, the Biden-Harris administration announced a vision to improve quality of care and quality of life for nursing home residents.  The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will be leading that charge including setting minimum staffing requirements, enhancing oversight and accountability, and making facility ownership more transparent so that potential residents and their loved ones can make informed decisions about care. Following the State of Union, CMS will further outline the details of our nursing home vision and implementation strategy through national stakeholder calls, list serves, and collaboration with residents, families, providers and other stakeholders. Our next National Nursing Home Stakeholder Call will be held on March 10 at 3 p.m. ET.
