NEW YORK NOW – Nursing homes in New York would be required to have enough staff for each resident to receive at least three and a half hours of direct care each day under legislation expected to be approved by the state Legislature in the next few weeks.
The bill was approved Monday by the Senate Health Committee, and the same is expected Tuesday in the Assembly Health Committee. Final passage is scheduled for next week.
“We’re trying to make sure that folks, whether they’re in hospitals or nursing homes, that they’re taken care of, and that they’re appropriately staffed,” said Sen. Gustavo Rivera, D-Bronx, who sponsors the bill and chairs the Senate Health Committee.
