The Biden Administration seeking to implement Section 6101(a) of the Affordable Care Act.

President Biden assured the America people in his State of the Union address, the Biden-Harris Administration is commitmented to improve the safety and quality of care in the nation’s nursing homes. 

Over the past year, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has taken historic actions to deliver on the President’s call to action and ensure seniors and people with disabilities get the reliable, high-quality care they deserve.

On February 13, 2023, HHS announced additional action to increase the transparency of nursing home ownership and management. The Department issued a proposed rule to require nursing homes to disclose to CMS and states additional ownership and management information. The rule also includes private equity and real estate investment trust definitions, setting the stage for the disclosure of whether nursing home owners are private equity investors or real estate investment trusts. The proposal marks an important step in continuing to implement President Biden’s initiative to improve the quality and care available at nursing homes. By making facility ownership and oversight more trans parent, nursing home residents and their families will be more empowered to make informed decisions about care.

“President Biden has made clear: improving our nation’s nursing homes is an urgent priority, and this Administration is not afraid to take bold action to tackle this head-on.”
