"Nursing Home Reform Surprises Many"
April 11 , 2003
The nursing home reform bill that passed took many by surprise because of the Senate resistance to nursing home reform in the past few years. The vote was a dominating 33-0 vote in favor of the nursing home bill that if passing in the House of Representatives will include increasing fines if nursing home violations exist, eliminating the current loopholes allowing nursing home operators to escape fines of serious violations, making nursing home abuse or nursing home neglect concealment a felony, implementing more rigorous background checks for nursing home owners and employees, and allowing nursing homes that have an established record for superior care to undergo fewer inspections.
