HHS Officially Rescinds Nursing Home Minimum Staffing Rule

Whats disgusting about daycare? After all the times require both parents working full time.

At a guess the biggest issue is that Democrats want people to have it.

DERP!!!

You're the one asking people how to run your personal life.

Your posting of grade school memes shows why you helpless people ask others how to wipe your own ass.

Wow, that was unbelievably weak as a comeback.

Tell ya what, I'm feeling sorry for you after that mediocre performance. I'll give you a free shot.

If you are putting your parents in a nursing home, then shame on you. Same thing for daycare. Disgusting.

Sometimes the medical needs of the elderly are so great that that is the only option - even at a cost of $15,000 a month.

The shame is that nursing homes charge this much. I was told it’s to offset the lower rate they get for Medicaid patients.

So, once again, right up until the end, the responsible people who saved for their old age are forced to subsidize those who didn’t bother.

Of course they have to charge that much. There is no money taking care of sick people.

Outliers always exist, but we have enabled this perverse trend.

Except there’s money for people who never saved - Medicaid pays for it.

The people who saved are overcharged because the Medicaid beds have low reimbursements. So the nursing homes charge the responsible savers double.

Oh, please, no one is saving for that. You have an entire system that enables this crap. The system is people like you who support it.

That’s not true AT ALL. How do you think we are able to make the payments for my mother with Alzheimer’s, who needs constant supervision? Because my parents saved for their old age, rather than have taxpayers cover their bill.

But as I said, the charge is about twice what it should be because nursing homes need to “make up” for the low amounts they get for the Medicaid people.

I myself am living in such a way that I will have enough to cover at least 10 years, if it comes to that.

HHS took this action after determining the final rule imposed by the Biden Administration disproportionately burdened facilities, especially those serving rural and Tribal communities, and jeopardized patient’s access to care.

he 2024 rule had established a federal requirement that nursing homes participating in Medicare and Medicaid provide residents with a minimum total of 3.48 hours of nursing care per day, including at least 0.55 hours from a registered nurse per resident per day, and 2.45 hours from a nurse aide per resident per day, along with requirements that each facility have a registered nurse onsite 24/7. These measures disproportionately burdened rural and underserved communities already grappling with critical health care workforce shortages.

Sounds like Biden was just looking out for his own personal needs.

So, you are saying, even shittier care is better than no care. I have seen nursing homes, know reputations through by son, a former EMT, now emergency room nurse, and I am probably going to have to put my brother in one, soon. Trump should have left the standards alone.

Yes lets fill a nursing home with people and under staff it? Not sure i understand this. I do believe nursing home staffs should get more pay and medicaid should puck up the tab.

On the other hand rather than rely on Nursing homes for the elderly, why can't they raise salaries of homecare through Social Services for the elderly.

The trump *administration has removed minimum staffing regs for nursing homes.

Nursing home organizations of course applauded the move as it will enhance their profitability.

Patient groups, on the other hand are a bit less pleased:

"We were very disappointed by CMS's announcement today," Sam Brooks, director of public policy for the National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care, a patient advocacy group, wrote in an email to MedPage Today. "Even though it claimed the rescission was in part due to congressional and judicial developments, it repeated the often-debunked lines from the nursing home industry that there are not enough staff and that rural facilities will be harmed. Both of these claims are not true."

"Most disheartening was that CMS offered no plan to address the staffing crisis in nursing homes," Brooks added. "Instead, it is returning to the status quo, which results ... in residents suffering and dying because nursing homes are not staffed adequately."

It's almost like they want the old folks to just go away.

Nursing home providers praised the move, while one patient group called it 'very disappointing'

This is something the States can easily regulate themselves.
