The attorney general is calling on New York's governor to enforce rules that set minimum staffing levels for nursing homes.
New York Attorney General Letitia James is calling on Gov. Kathy Hochul to stop blocking nursing home reforms that are designed to prevent understaffing.
One of the staffing measures that Hochul postponed would require nursing homes to hire enough employees to provide patients with an average of three-and-a-half hours of clinical care each day. Another would require nursing homes to spend at least 40% of revenue on staff that provide direct patient care.
But it’s possible the governor is waiting until after the state budget is released next month. Hochul and both chambers of the legislature have proposed new funding to help nursing homes comply with the staffing mandates, although Hochul has also suggested reforms that would ease limits on nursing home profits.
