60 Seconds with Swett: CMS Raises the Minimum Staffing Mandate
On Monday, CMS came out with its final minimum staffing standards for nursing homes, but the eventual outcome is anything but final.

It will also require facilities to have a registered nurse onsite 24/7. The rule will be implemented gradually over... Read More »
