"Michigan used to shut down its worst nursing homes. Then it stopped."
I'm quoted in this excellent investigative piece on regulators' unwillingness to pull licenses from dangerous #NursingHomes. And what might explain it.

#NursingHomes are complaining that this low minimum std is unfair to THEM. How fair is it to promise #seniors & #families good care & then neglect them to death? -"Feds to require more staff in nursing homes. Most in St. Louis area don’t meet the bar." https://t.co/QeSdpoNNfm

Nursing home residents have the right to SAFE staffing. Unfortunately, a new proposal sets a federal staffing minimum that is woefully inadequate to meet residents’ needs. On #ResidentsRights month, here's how you can help...
A Dollar a Day.
That's the cost, per resident, that nursing homes would need to pay to meet the 24-hour RN requirement. LTCCC's new analysis finds that the annual cost to meet the 24-hr RN standard costs only $71 million – a fraction of the $610M cost industry leaders claim.
I worked at a nursing home in rural North Dakota and I can tell you that those residents need and deserve the same care as residents who live in cities. If nursing homes don't have the staff to provide quality care to its residents, it needs to quit taking people in.
The Administration's one-size-fits-all staffing mandate for nursing homes is the latest example of Washington bureaucrats showing they don't understand the challenges rural America faces.
I’ll continue to fight back against burdensome mandates that simply don't work for Montana.
"The resident said there was no one on his hall to assist him in repositioning in his bed. Despite ringing his call light, nobody came until the next morning, more than 11 hours later." https://t.co/b1aON9PK8h

Consumer Costs ⬆️, Quality ⬇️
Acquisitions in the US seniors housing and senior care sector are at record levels. A new paper in an international medical journal reveals that such transactions often lead to increased costs for patients and payers and a decline in care quality.
