Proposed Nursing Home Staffing Standards ‘Unattainable’ Amid Labor Crisis
Despite continuing nursing home workforce shortages across the country, some states continue to push for mandated minimum staffing hours – Virginia’s legislature was the latest to introduce such proposals, in January.

Aging service organizations and their members voiced concern over the Virginia legislation prior to the House decision.
