New legislation has been passed by General Assembly and signed into a new law by the Governor to help improve the care at nursing homes and rid them of abuse and negligence cases.

The new law states that their will be increased background checks of residents who are coming to stay at the homes and new staffing levels have been mandated at the homes as well.
