Stricter Rules for Nursing Homes Training Nurse Aides.
This law tightens the criteria for skilled nursing facilities and nursing facilities regarding their ability to run nurse aide training programs under Medicare and Medicaid. Facilities that have received a significant civil money penalty (at least $12,924) and have been cited for poor quality of care will be prohibited from training new aides. This measure aims to ensure that only high-quality facilities are responsible for educating future caregivers for seniors.
Key points
Nursing homes cited for poor quality of care and fined $12,924 or more are banned from operating nurse aide training programs.
The change applies to both Medicare and Medicaid programs, focusing on improving the overall standard of care for elderly residents.
