CMS Waives a Number of Nursing Home Regulations

CMS has issued blanket waivers for certain federal requirements it believes will free up nursing home providers to focus on containing the spread of COVID-19.  Several of the regulations are waived only in COVID-19 related situations, while others apply in general.  Regulatory areas impacted include transfer/discharges; nurse aide training and certification; care planning; physical environment; and more.  For detailed information, see Consumer Voice’s summary and read the CMS publication.
