The Biden Administration Announces Reforms to Improve the Safety and Quality of Care in the Nation’s Nursing Homes

President Biden has announced a set of reforms, developed and implemented through the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), to improve the safety and quality of nursing home care.

The reforms are intended to ensure the following:
Every nursing home provides a sufficient number of staff who are adequately trained to provide high-quality care;
Poorly performing nursing homes are held accountable for improper and unsafe care and immediately improve their services or are cut off from taxpayer dollars; and
The public has better information about nursing home conditions so that they can find the best available options.
