Senators introduce legislation to restore nursing home staffing standards and improve resident care quality.
Quiver AI Summary
Senators Propose Nursing Home Legislation: U.S. Senator Cory Booker and colleagues, including Ranking Member Ron Wyden, have introduced new legislation aimed at restoring staffing standards in nursing homes. This follows previous rollbacks under the Trump administration that, according to the senators, left vulnerable residents at risk.
Concerns Over Care Quality: The proposed "Nurses Belong in Nursing Homes Act" seeks to ensure that nursing homes provide a minimum level of care, including 24/7 nursing staff and at least 3.5 hours of care per resident daily. Lawmakers argue that inadequate staffing has compromised safety and quality of life for seniors.
Broad Support for Minimum Standards: Nearly all voters aged 50 and older reportedly favor minimum staffing standards. The legislation aims to alleviate pressures on healthcare workers and improve conditions for both staff and residents in nursing homes, addressing concerns raised during prior administration policies.
