AARP Virginia State Director Jim Dau on Governor Glenn Youngkin’s Executive Order Strengthening Oversight of Virginia's Nursing Homes
AARP Virginia commends Governor Youngkin’s new nursing home oversight measures, aimed at improving care quality, transparency, and safety for residents and their families.
“AARP Virginia applauds Governor Youngkin for making badly needed improvements to nursing home oversight. Too many of Virginia’s most vulnerable people have suffered because of poor quality of care in nursing homes. At the same time, families struggle to make decisions about how to care for their loved ones because they have a hard time finding information – if it even exists – about how well nursing homes in their areas are actually keeping their residents safe.
“That’s why AARP has long pushed for greater accountability from facilities that fail to provide quality care to residents. It’s why we’ve fought for more transparency to ensure that people have information from inspections, surveys and potentially disciplinary actions so they can make the best-informed decisions and make sure their loved ones are in good hands.
“Thank you, Governor Youngkin, for your leadership on this issue. AARP Virginia stands ready to support implementation in any way that we can.”
