Troutman Pepper Podcasts

Nursing home residents’ ability to receive visitors has been strictly limited during the COVID-19 pandemic. In light of the increasing number of vaccinated residents and visitors, CMS and the CDC released updated guidance for nursing homes that provides a significant step toward resuming pre-pandemic visitation standards. This is welcomed news for nursing home residents and their families, many of whom have gone nearly a year without in-person visits with family and loved ones. Listen to Troutman Pepper attorneys Callan G. Stein, Jan P. Levine, Avrohom C. Einhorn, and Matthew F. Smith as they discuss the new guidance, next steps for nursing home operators, and the impact on the long-term care industry.
