Ensuring Seniors’ Access to Quality Care Act

AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes Medicare and Medicaid rules on when a nursing home can run or host a state-approved training and testing program for nursing aides. Under the bill, a civil money penalty would block approval only if it was at least $12,924 and the facility was also cited for a problem with the quality of care given to residents. Facilities that faced certain other federal enforcement actions would still be barred from approval. The bill also deletes one paragraph of the current law on these programs and updates cross-references to match.
