Nursing Home Welfare Payments Increase Six Percent
Texas Public Welfare Board approves a six per cent increase in nursing home payments funded by private sources. A $25 per month deduction from patients in intermediate care facilities would offset the rise, with TNHA hoping 50 percent of families contribute. Critics say the plan may not help poorer homes or poor families meet the proposed fees. Burton Hackney notes past programs drew only 12 percent family support.
