Federal Judge Blocks Mandate on Nursing Home Staffing

An Instagram slide shows a photo of gavel resting on its block. The slide's headline reads, "Federal Judge Blocks Mandate on Nursing Home Staffing." The blurb underneath it reads, "The decision could leave thousands of residents in homes that are too short-staffed to provide proper care."

A federal judge in Texas blocked a Biden administration rule to boost staffing at nursing homes, even though many homes lack enough workers to maintain residents’ care. KFF Health News walked through the decision from the judge and what it could mean for nursing home staffing.
