A new federal lawsuit challenges the Biden administration’s minimum nursing home staffing rule, warning of potential closures, displacement of seniors, and delays in care. The lawsuit, filed by the American Health Care Association, argues that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services overstepped its authority in implementing the rule. The complaint describes the rule as a nightmare for both nursing home owners and residents, going against CMS’s mandate. The lawsuit names CMS, the Department of Health and Human Services, and secretary Xavier Becerra as defendants. The outcome of the lawsuit could have significant implications for the long-term care industry.
