With President-elect Donald Trump returning to the White House next year, the nursing home industry has been ramping up its efforts to kill the Biden administration’s new nurse staffing regulation. That mandate—issued in April in response to the over 172,000 covid-related deaths of nursing home residents nationwide during the pandemic—will require nursing homes, by May 2026, to have registered nurses on site 24 hours a day, seven days a week, as well as meet minimum nurse staffing requirements, likely forcing four out of five homes to increase their staffing levels.
The industry has been lobbying members of Congress to rescind the regulation. Industry groups have also filed a legal challenge to the mandate, and the Republican attorneys general of 20 states have brought their own lawsuit against it. Industry officials, consumer advocates and independent researchers agree the regulation is likely to be repealed. (NEW YORK TIMES)
