A Conversation with Nursing Home Residents: Part II
from Pursuing Quality Long-Term Care · host National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care
The most significant nursing home reforms in decades were announced in February 2022. The reforms include the creation of a minimum staffing standard in nursing homes, accountability for poor performing nursing homes, increased transparency around ownership and finances, and support for direct care staff. These reforms are critical and urgently needed to address the inadequate conditions many residents face in their day-to-day lives. In this episode we continue our conversation with long-term care residents about the importance of these reforms. We speak with two residents to discuss the problems they face in their day-to-day lives from inadequate staffing, the ways nursing home ownership has impacted their lives throughout the pandemic, as well as what can be done to improve their lives in long-term care.
