Virginia families say nursing home crackdown doesn't go far enough

Families are urging Virginia regulators to do more to crack down on nursing homes , describing understaffing, neglect and unsafe conditions they say have persisted despite complaints and inspections. Why it matters: The state is finalizing new guidelines for when serious or repeated nursing home violations should lead to sanctions. It's part of an effort to make enforcement more consistent statewide. Driving the news: The Virginia Department of Health received 49 public comments by last week's deadline. Many commenters welcomed tougher oversight but argued the proposal still gives regulators too much discretion over whether facilities face consequences, per an Axios review. Zoom in: Staffing problems emerged repeatedly, including in a comment from a Richmond-area paramedic who said nursing home workers are stretched too thin to adequately monitor residents. Families and health care workers also described delayed medications, bedsores, residents left in soiled bedding and shortages of basic supplies. The other side: Some commenters warned that overly punitive sanctions could worsen staffing and financial pressures and urged VDH to consider facilities' efforts to fix problems. What they're saying: VDH didn't immediately respond to Axios' request for comment. What we're watching: Whether VDH revises the guidelines in response to the feedback. Go

Data: Rural Virginia losing hospitals as ICE funding ramps up

Virginia is among the states suffering the most from federal cuts to healthcare spending and a new report found the money is mostly funneled to immigration enforcement. At the same time, ICE agents have arrested more than 15,000 people in the state since the beginning of 2025. Felicity Rose, vice president of policy and research for the advocacy organization FWD.us said those being targeted are valued community members who live and work in the Old Dominion. "Who have families, many of whom are citizens, who have been doing caretaking jobs in many cases, or working on farms," Rose explained. "Those effects ripple through the whole economy." According to the report "Cutting Health Care, Supercharging ICE," Virginia has lost a projected $3.5 billion in federal funding dollars for the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid and SNAP. More than 50,000 people have lost healthcare coverage as a result. Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security continues to open its wallet to buy up large warehouses across the country to house detained people before deportation. Rose contended Virginia’s rural hospitals are desperately in need of funding, noting the latest data show 19 facilities have closed or are on the verge of closing. "When those close

Feeding Southwest Virginia preparing for more demand as Medicaid, SNAP cuts take root

The loss of Medicaid coverage expected by new work requirements and funding cuts to SNAP – the food stamp program -could place more strain on local food pantries in Southwest Virginia – and on food banks like Salem-based Feeding Southwest Virginia. President and CEO Pam Irvine says they’ve started to see more people seeking assistance at the food pantries they service over 26 counties and in 9 cities, as components of the Big Beautiful Bill start to come online; many of those changes to Medicaid and SNAP in the budget bill were timed to go into effect after the mid-term elections. Governor Spanberger has signed an executive order called Keep Virginia Covered but acknowledges the Commonwealth won’t have all the funds needed to cover all the potential losses to the SNAP program that gives lower-income families more purchasing power when they buy groceries. More from WFIR’s Gene Marrano:
