The White House Helps Support the Care Economy

April 23, 2024 - The White House released two final rules yesterday, April 22, 2024, in an effort to improve access to long-term care and the quality of caregiving jobs.

1. Nursing Home Minimum Staffing Rule - will require all nursing homes that receive federal funding through Medicare and Medicaid to meet minimum staffing standards. This aims to improve residents' safety and help prevent staff burnout.

2. Ensuring Access to Medicaid Services - this aims to ensure adequate compensation for home care workers by requiring that at least 80 percent of Medicaid payments for home care services go to workers’ wages.

What do you think about these?
