Nursing home industry pressures Trump to rescind new staffing mandate set to start in 2026.

The U.S. nursing home industry is pressuring President-elect Donald Trump to rescind a new staffing mandate that requires nursing homes to have registered nurses on-site 24/7 and maintain minimum staffing levels, starting in 2026. Introduced in April, the rule aims to improve care quality but could force four out of five nursing homes to increase staffing significantly. Critics argue this could lead to insufficient care, while supporters believe the Trump administration will likely revoke the rule due to its stance against stringent health regulations.
