U.S. Bill Would Require More Staffing And Curtail Arbitration In Nursing Homes
Nursing homes would face minimum staffing requirements and a prohibition on pre-dispute arbitration agreements, among other significant potential changes included in legislation introduced last week by a group of Democratic senators.
The bill would also explore future possibilities for smaller, more private nursing homes.
The Department of Health and Human Services would report to Congress within three years on establishing minimum staff-to-resident ratios in nursing homes.
