ND senators support HHS rule change
North Dakota’s two U.S. senators are applauding a federal shift affecting nursing homes. The Biden administration’s staffing mandate—requiring facilities to meet minimum daily care-hour thresholds and maintain a registered nurse onsite at all times—has now been repealed. Supporters of the change argue those requirements would have strained rural and smaller long-term care facilities already struggling to hire staff. Senator Kevin Cramer called the rollback a “major win,” pointing to the ongoing challenge of keeping care local and accessible for families across rural communities. Joshua Mathisen with KX News has the full story.
