Delaware Valley nursing home operators decry workforce shortage as they face new federal staffing rules

N.J. Medicaid funding for the state’s lowest-rated nursing home is cut off. The N.J. state comptroller says the facility improperly collected millions and offered subpar care.

The state saw a large increase in those deaths between 2017 and 2022.

A half-century-old bit of American bureaucracy is leaving hundreds of thousands of nursing home residents in an unthinkable bind: Living on as little as $30 a month.
