Grassley, Kohl reintroduce legislation to improve care at nursing homes
Two senators have reintroduced legislation aimed at improving the quality of care in nursing homes. The Nursing Home Transparency and Improvement Act, reintroduced by Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Herb Kohl (D-WI), would give consumers more information about the quality of care at nursing homes, provide the government with better tools to enforce high quality standards, and encourage nursing homes to improve on the care they provide, according to Trading Markets.
