Inquirer readers on the mayor's cleanup initiative, the drop in gun violence incidents, and changes to nursing home staffing.
On April 22, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released the long-awaited regulations on minimum staffing in nursing homes. The staffing standards are a good first step: Nursing homes are required to have a registered nurse on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and there is a minimum staffing standard of 3.48 hours total direct care per resident per day. This is a minimum, not a ceiling. Nursing homes will still have to staff according to residents’ care and acuity needs.
Language is important; words do count. Would someone please tell the folks in Alabama or anywhere else who crusade against in vitro fertilization because “embryos are people” that IVF does not involve embryos; it involves fertilized eggs, or zygotes.
