Question: How does this bill affect nursing home staffs and other long-term care givers?
Recognizing that staffing is critical in preventing abuse and neglect, the legislation includes: (1) grants and tax incentives to bolster recruitment; (2) tax incentives and bonuses for workers who remain in the field for more than five years; (3) provides continuing training and development of career ladders with accompanying wage increases or benefit packages; and (4) training and technical assistance to create and institute management practices that reduce turnover rates.
