Moving Forward Nursing Home Quality Coalition Fact Sheets: Examining the Impact of 2025 Reconciliation Act on Nursing Home Quality
The Moving Forward Nursing Home Quality Coalition has published a series of fact sheet resources on the impact of 2025 Reconciliation Act on nursing home quality.
The Moving Forward Coalition notes how KFF’s data brief, “A Look at Nursing Facility Characteristics in 2025,” underscores the serious consequences of the 2025 Reconciliation Act on nursing home quality. The coalition's four fact sheets raise awareness about how recent legislation affects care quality and access, demonstrating the likely impact of this law on residents, workers, providers and caregivers:
- Residents: States might cut services and decrease reimbursements, resulting in reduced access to care, layoffs, compromised quality of life, and higher costs of care.
- Workers: Cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, along with immigration restrictions, may undermine job security, reduce health coverage and financial stability, weaken immigration protections, and compromise quality of care.
- Providers: Nursing home providers rely heavily on Medicaid and may face higher closure risk, reduced staff quality, poorer resident and staff quality of life, and delays in coverage.
- Caregivers: Cuts could increase emotional, financial, and administrative burdens, disrupt stability and care access, and decrease support resources to Medicaid-funded programs.
