Thanks to WHCA member Chaim Wolmark of Caldera for your amazing advocacy efforts. It's a critical time to let #WAleg know increased #Medicaidfunding for #longtermcare is vital! Together we can make a difference. Call us to find out how you can help too. youtu.be/b4ENsXapFcY

Thanks Donna Wing! “A Medicaid patient in memory care is reimbursed at a rate of just $124 a day, when a privately insured patient rate is reimbursed at $224 per day. It’s impossible to cut that many corners to get down to that rate of care.” TAKE ACTION: whca.org/advocacy/call-…

#Medicaid rate for #assistedliving in WA Senate’s proposed 2023-25 budget reimburses only 80% of labor costs. Tell your Senators to support a floor amendment that fully funds the cost of labor before negotiations close: ow.ly/teSn50NtlSC #waleg #seniorliving #seniorliving

Senate & House budget proposals on #Medicaid funding both shortchange #assistedliving & will further limit access for low-income #seniors. High #Medicaid-census facilities will fail under either plan. Read more & take action! conta.cc/3zdsIEz #WAleg #longtermcare
