Nursing Homes and Coronavirus Prevention

Protocols for the prevention of Coronavirus infections in Nursing Homes have been outlined by CMS.

Infection control issues and other health and safety threats will be the exclusive focus of state survey facility inspections for some time.

CMS is directing all facilities to immediately review all of their infection control procedures to ensure compliance with CMS requirements and CDC guidelines.
