Oregon Legislature Could Increase Oversight Of Long-Term Care Homes

1:02 An audio version of the story on bills to expand state oversight of Oregon s long-term care facilities.    Senator Sara Gelser of Corvallis is cosponsoring two bills that have to do with Oregon’s long-term care facilities. SB 714 would establish staffing ratios based on patient needs. Gelser said there’s not a one-size fits all approach. “Ultimately, this is about the residents that live in these facilities and their right to have dignified lives, to be safe, to be comfortable,” Gelser said. “For them to do that, they need to be supported by staff and staff are exhausted.” Gelser said with the pandemic limiting family members’ access to care homes, staffing issues have become more apparent as often family would help out with care. She added staff need more training, support and pay.
