Federal staffing mandate would deepen crisis and displace nearly 300,000 residents.
#ICYMI: Our new report underscores the severity of reduced access to care for our most vulnerable. Since 2020: • At least 774 nursing homes have closed, displacing 28,421 residents. • There are 62,567 fewer nursing home beds nationwide. • Currently, 46% of nursing homes are having to limit new admissions. The federal staffing mandate would make matters worse. Nearly 300,000 residents are at risk for displacement as nursing homes may be forced to reduce their census or close. Policymakers must implement supportive solutions - not unrealistic mandates - that protect access to care. Read our full report: https://brnw.ch/21wM5fq
