The proposal would change federal rules for nursing homes that receive Medicare and Medicaid payments, likely affecting staffing levels, safety standards, or quality requirements that these facilities must meet. Nursing home residents, their families, and facility operators would all be impacted by any new requirements or changes to how these homes operate. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Finance Committee.
