(Providence, RI)--The Rhode Island House last week passed a resolution to create a commission studying nursing homes, which have been in the spotlight this year because of the coronavirus.The commission would look at, among other things, staffing levels, employee recruitment and retention, and the financial condition of the facilities.Legislation requiring minimum staffing was passed by the Senate but not the House last week after nursing home officials testified that such a bill could help to put many of the homes out of business.
