White House Briefing Regarding Nursing Homes

In advance of the President’s State of the Union address, the White House released a Fact Sheet yesterday entitled Protecting Seniors and People with Disabilities by Improving Safety and Quality of Care in the Nation’s Nursing Homes. The Fact Sheet is intended to summarize the Administration’s reform efforts, developed by and implemented through the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS) to improve the safety and quality of nursing home care nationally. These Federal reforms could have significant consequences for the nursing home industry if implemented.
