Sadistic Trump Admin Rescinds Min Staffing Rules for Nursing Homes [View all]

https://www.medpagetoday.com/geriatrics/generalgeriatrics/118802

This week, the Department of Health and Human Services announced it is rescinding the minimum staffing standards for nursing homes. These standards provided a floor to ensure nursing home residents receive the basic bedside care needed. Rescinding this rule will cause undue stress on nurses already struggling with chronic understaffing and put vulnerable nursing home residents at risk.
