Minimum Staffing Requirements Could Cost Nursing Homes $10B Annually
More than 200,000 residents could be at risk of displacement if federal leaders establish minimum staffing requirements for nursing homes.
Nursing homes would have to spend up to $10 billion per year and hire almost 188,000 nurses to comply with increased minimum staffing requirements, according to a report from the American Health Care Association (AHCA) and accounting and consulting firm CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen LLP).
