A proposed rule with a 60-day comment period was published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on September 6, 2023, that outlines proposed minimum staffing standards for nursing homes. LeadingAge will submit comments on the proposed rule, and we encourage members to do so as well. The most important thing providers can offer is illustrative narratives of what the situation looks like on the ground, in your nursing home community—use this resource to help make your comments powerful and effective.
