Nursing Home Staffing Mandate Delayed Until 2034

Written By North Country Center for Independence

On July 4, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act into law, with significant impact for long-term care residents.

Understaffed facilities, higher medical debts, reduced long-term care coverage. The nation’s 1.2 million nursing home residents and their families could see these problems intensify under the sweeping tax and domestic policy law signed earlier this month. ​

Under the Biden administration, a federal staffing mandate for long-term care was originally established minimum staffing standards for long-term care facilities, including a requirement for a registered nurse (RN) to be on-site 24/7 and a total nurse staffing standard of 3.48 hours per resident day. This mandate aimed to improve the safety and quality of care in nursing homes across the country.

The Trump administration’s One Big Beautiful Bill prevents this staffing requirement from going into effect until 2034. To learn more, click on the link below:
