When the project was completed, The Waters of Union City had a turnover rate of 5.6%. And they saved an estimated $144,000 in staffing costs by changing the culture and keeping valued employees on board.
Navigating the New Nursing Home Minimum Staffing Rule
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has implemented significant changes to ensure better quality care for residents and to address the growing demand for skilled caregivers in the face of an aging population. Let’s delve into these changes and what they mean for both facilities and the quality of care they provide.
CMS released the final Nursing Home Minimum Staffing Rule on April 22, 2024. This requires nursing homes participating in Medicare and Medicaid to meet a strict list of criteria. Failure to meet these requirements will place nursing facilities out of compliance with staffing requirements which increases the chances of citations and fines.
