New York State Nursing Home Crisis: Why You Should Care
Michael S. King, President & CEO of Jewish Home, explains why you should care about Medicaid funding for nursing homes in New York State. Hear how the underfunding of nursing home Medicaid rates impacts all of us and how you can help.
The impact directly affects the quality of care and accessibility to nursing home services. As a result, we anticipate increased hospital overcrowding in the Rochester area, compounding the existing strain on nursing home placement due to Medicaid funding shortfalls of $810 million and growing.
It is crucial to protect the interests of our most vulnerable citizens. We are calling on Governor Hochul to increase the Medicaid rate for nursing homes while rebasing rates for the future.
