New Podcast Episode on Nursing Home Staffing

May 24, 2022

Research has shown that staffing in nursing homes - numbers of staff, skills mix, and training - are critical indicators of quality care and positive resident outcomes. Yet too many nursing homes are understaffed, and the long-term care industry claims it does not have the resources to hire more staff. But is that really true? Listen in for a discussion with David Brevda, Esq., Partner, Senior Justice Law Firm, and Robyn Grant, Director of Public Policy at Consumer Voice about how complex facility practices and resource allocation, combined with a lack of minimum standards, put residents at risk for poor care and bad outcomes; as well as recommendations for addressing these problems.
