Senator Bob Casey is pushing for more information on how staffing shortages at nursing homes are affecting their ability to provide care for residents.
Casey says a new federal report showed that the nationwide shortage is “leading to failures to conduct timely, high-quality nursing home surveys.”
He says these surveys are important to ensuring the care of residents in these homes.
Casey is now asking states for details on how they are providing oversight responsibilities and if salary hikes are helping retention and recruitment rates.
