Resident Voices on How Staffing Impacts Their Lives

February marked the one-year anniversary of President Biden's announcement of historic nursing home reforms. Creating a minimum staffing standard, which would be the most significant increase in protections for nursing home residents in decades, was central to his plan. In this episode, we are sharing the audio from Consumer Voice’s webinar that was part of the “Dignity for All: Staffing Standards Now!” campaign. This campaign is advocating for a minimum staffing standard in nursing homes. This discussion highlighted the experiences of long-term care residents as they shared, in their own words, how living in a facility with inadequate staffing affects their quality of life and the quality of care that they receive, and what it would mean for their lives to live in a facility with enough staff.
