Skilled Nursing Industry Wants to End Biden Staffing Mandate

The measure is scheduled to go into effect soon and the industry hopes that the incoming Trump administration can be convinced to put the ruling aside.

An administrative rule to force minimum staffing levels on long-term care facilities has faced heavy resistance since the final version was announced in April 2024. Industry groups American Health Care Association and LeadingAge sued to block the action. Twenty Republican-led states similarly filed suit.

However, the incoming administration may give them faster satisfaction, according to The New York Times. Experts, officials, and researchers say it’s likely that under President-elect Donald Trump, the rule is likely to be rescinded. During his first administration, he took actions like reducing fines for entities that were cited for poor care.
