A Local 12 investigation found new federal rules for nursing homes will have unintended consequences, including in the Tri-State.

The Biden Administration just announced new regulations that’ll impact staffing within two to three years.

“The only difference is the title. We all care for these patients, and care for them in the same way,” said Jazmine Bell, Director of Nursing. The mix is the number of registered nurses versus an LPN, a licensed practical nurse that will be required. An LPN performs basic nursing care like dressing or bathing a person. They need a certificate and are paid less on average, only being paid around $54,000.

McGowan said that Maple Knoll already meets the new requirement to have a registered nurse available 24/7. But many other facilities will struggle to staff that new position around the clock. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services said that in the first year alone, it’ll cost nursing facilities over seven billion dollars.
