Skilled Nursing News May 9, 2023
Nursing homes are past the “nightmare” caused by Covid-19, but now are facing “a real business problem” that could be considerably worsened by the coming federal staffing mandate.
That’s according to Mark Parkinson, CEO and president of the American Health Care Association/National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL). He spoke Tuesday of the urgent need to battle the staffing mandate even now, before the proposal drops. And he also described the dangers and opportunities that the “mega-trend” of managed care is creating for nursing home operators.
Parkinson struck an upbeat note related to occupancy, saying, “The census picture right now continues to be challenging, but I think we’re on the verge of it being quite a bit better in my view.”
