Nursing home policy change prompts push for relative responsibility
Rep. Carl Engwall, Chaves County Republican, decries a drastic shift in nursing home Medicaid policy set to take effect Nov. 1. He urges reinserting relative responsibility, warning current payments of 66 to 333 dollars monthly fail to cover care and could force transfers to state institutions or earlier releases. He calls for a compromise and continued program safeguards until a workable solution with nursing homes and facilities is found.
