State Auditors Turned Loose On Nursing Homes
Kansas politicians press for deeper look after a preliminary audit finds nonprofit nursing homes charge more than for profit, with for profit facilities costing about 9.93 dollars daily less for skilled care and 2.64 dollars less for intermediate care. State payments total about 90 million annually. lawmakers want a second phase to explain why gaps exist and whether welfare patients should stay in nonprofit homes. Costs are lower for Kansas-owned homes versus out-of-state owned facilities. Results will go to the Legislature’s interim committee on Special Care Services.
