Bill overview
The Safe Staffing Saves Lives Act aims to improve resident care in nursing facilities and skilled nursing facilities by establishing minimum staffing levels for registered nurses. Specifically, it sets a target of 4.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day, with detailed requirements for licensed nursing services and nurse aide hours. The bill also provides mechanisms for states to waive these requirements if they cannot be met, subject to specific criteria and oversight, and increases survey frequency for facilities not meeting staffing standards. Furthermore, it impacts Medicaid funding by potentially withholding payments from facilities failing to comply.
