Medicaid Senior Home Care Cutbacks

Posted by: matthew

Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons has proposed a budget cut reducing the Medicaid Personal Assistance Services program by $3.00 an hour.

Impact on Seniors

Senior home care companies will be forced to either discontinue services to Medicaid clients because the rate is too low, or pass the rate cut onto the caregivers providing the services.  This means that both the availability and quality of senior home care services to the elderly and disabled will be drastically lowered.
