Most nursing homes don't have enough staff to meet the federal government's new rules

The Biden administration is establishing new standards for how much time each day a nursing home resident gets direct care from a nurse or an aide.

The new rules mean 4 out of 5 nursing homes will need more aides and nurses. Unions hailed the change, but advocates say it's not enough care, while nursing home owners say it's an "impossible task."
