Benchmark: Medicare and Medicaid: Repeal of Long-Term Care Facility Minimum Staffing Standards

Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from taking the course on Compliance with the Repeal of Minimum Staffing Standards for Long-Term Care Facilities. In a few minutes, you’ll surface where your understanding is strong and where targeted learning could help you align operations, protect resident care, and avoid compliance pitfalls.

What you’ll get from the course:

• Clear separation of what was repealed versus what remains in effect, so you don’t chase unenforceable standards.
• How to staff without fixed national ratios: using facility assessments, acuity, and competency to guide coverage.
• How to balance cost savings with resident outcomes, equity, and survey readiness.
• Transparency essentials that still apply: daily staffing postings, retention, and public access.
• When and how to use staffing waivers responsibly—and how to communicate them.
• Equity lens: why rural and tribal access matters and how flexibility can prevent closures.
• Preparing for what’s next: tracking updates, contributing public comments, and getting ready for post-2034 changes.

Who should take this benchmark: LTC leaders, clinical supervisors, compliance teams, and anyone deciding how to operationalize staffing under the moratorium.

Use your results to focus your learning and ensure your policies, staffing plans, and documentation are future‑ready.
