Paula Sanders Examines Infection Control Scrutiny of Long-Term Care Facilities for Law360
In a January 26, 2021 article for Law360 ("Infection Control Rules For Nursing Homes Are Too Strict") Paula G. Sanders examines the increased scrutiny long-term care facilities have been under since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and how these facilities need to respond even while battling the ongoing impact of the pandemic.
The author notes:
"Skilled nursing facilities have been nothing short of heroic in their efforts battling COVID-19 and have looked for full support and partnership from regulators during the pandemic. While they hoped that collaborative efforts would have yielded more realistic survey scrutiny, they will respond as they have throughout the siege, with the health and well-being of their residents and staff as their primary focus."
