The Federal Proposed Standard for Nursing Home Staffing: How Does It Impact Ohio's Nursing Homes?

Abstract

In response to concerns about direct care staffing challenges in nursing homes across the nation, on September 6, 2023, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed new federal rules to establish minimum nursing staff standards for nursing homes. The proposed CMS changes could have a substantial impact on nursing homes both in Ohio and across the nation.
