Press Release
Issues: Senior Citizens
"CMS has an integral role to play in addressing many of the current failures of the nursing home oversight system, especially to improve monitoring and reporting on the capacity of state survey agencies to carry out statutorily required inspections in mandated timeframes. The Nation's 1.1 million nursing home residents should expect high quality care to be delivered in an environment that prioritizes health, safety, and human dignity. Thorough and timely nursing home inspections are key to ensuring these goals are met."
