WHAT

House Democrats have been calling for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to rigorously collect and release data needed to ensure we are protecting Older Americans, their families and those workers who support them. During this roundtable, the Task Force on Aging and Families will address CMS’ inadequate and overdue release of data, as well as the many failed measures within America’s nursing homes resulting in 48,000 tragic deaths to date.

 

ADDITIONAL PARTICIPANTS

To address multiple aspects of this crisis that negatively impact our nursing homes, this roundtable will include perspectives from clinicians, nursing home workers and patients/family members.
