Iowa nursing homes face staffing crisis as legislation stalls
Iowa nursing homes remain hampered by low staffing and high turnover. CMS data show 14 percent of 422 facilities cited for insufficient staffing in fiscal 2023, over double the national 5.9 percent. Fewer than half meet upcoming federal staffing mandates, with about 30 facilities closed since 2002 due to staffing and financial pressures. House Republicans urge action as 2024 session closes without substantive nursing home reform.
