Bill Summary
To require nursing homes to spend eighty per cent of revenue on direct patient care.
AI Summary
This bill, effective July 1, 2026, requires nursing home facilities to spend at least eighty percent of their funding from Medicaid, Medicare, and all other sources on direct care for residents, which includes hands-on care provided by nursing personnel (such as registered nurses, practical nurses, and nurse's aides) including assistance with daily living activities, medication administration, and related salaries, benefits, and supplies. However, the Commissioner of Social Services can adjust this percentage for facilities undertaking approved capital improvement projects or fair rent increases. For fiscal years beginning July 1, 2028, and thereafter, nursing homes that do not comply with this spending requirement may face reduced Medicaid reimbursement rates.
