The reforms are intended to keep patients safe, but the nursing homes claim that the staffing requirements will only make it harder for them to operate by issuing penalties for standards they cannot meet.
in early April, the move was celebrated by health care labor groups that have fought for minimum staffing standards for years.
Nursing homes must report their current staffing and spending levels but will not be evaluated on compliance until data is released by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services later this year. After that, they can be fined up to $2,000 per day by state health officials for non-compliance. Consumer advocates, meanwhile, have argued New York’s staffing requirements passed last year don’t go far enough. A 2001 study conducted by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services concluded that nursing homes shouldper resident on a daily basis in order to keep them safe.
