Nursing Homes Face Closures Over New State Ceilings
Administrators at Falkville and Moulton Nursing Homes warn the new Medicaid ceiling of 21.08 per day for skilled care and 18.41 for intermediate care will force losses and potential closures within months. Falkville charges 22.80 daily, above the former 21.50, while Moulton loses 0.47 and 0.94 per day respectively. The fate hinges on possible 70 000 monthly emergency funds and legal guidance as Medicaid populations average 80 to 85 percent.

Dennis Stork, executive director of the Educational Television Commission, told the budget subcommittee that Alabama’s nine station network runs on 20 year old transmitters and cars with very high mileage.
