Minimum staffing in nursing homes. The LTC sector is protesting the new minimum staffing standards, stating that they’ll result in more closures. Family advocacy groups are claiming that these are “inadequate”. Here are both the CMS directive, and the Abt Report on which the CMS directive is based.

The National Imperative to Improve Nursing Home Quality. A consensus report published February 28, 2022 by The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
“The Committee on the Quality of Care in Nursing Homes began their work in the fall of 2020 at a pivotal time when a bright light had been cast on care delivered in nursing homes because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The committee worked to describe the care being delivered in nursing homes before the pandemic, now made manifest by the crisis. The committee was given a substantial task of examining how the United States “delivers, finances, measures, and regulates the quality of nursing home care.” The challenge was enormous, but as reflected in the final recommendations, real change in nursing home care will require bold action in each of these domains. In the report chapters that follow, the committee presents the evidence of the need for change followed by specific recommendations. The final chapter concludes that “the way the United States finances, delivers, and regulates care in nursing home settings is ineffective, inefficient, fragmented, and unsustainable.”
