Public Aid Hires Doctor Payments and Nursing Home Funding
The committee approved higher state payments of about 12.8 million dollars yearly to nursing homes and sheltered care facilities serving public aid recipients, including aged, blind, and disabled residents. Some funds aim to encourage new low cost group care facilities and expand existing ones while transferring elderly patients from mental hospitals to nursing facilities to cut costs. Exemptions for aged and disabled income were raised to 50 dollars for incomes of 80 dollars or more monthly, aligning with federal standards, with similar increases for the blind and dependent children aid recipients.
