“Longstanding, chronic underfunding of HCBS in our country, and the resulting workforce shortages — exacerbated by the pandemic — mean millions of older adults and families’ requests for care are going unfilled." — @LeadingAge mcknightsseniorliving.com/home/news/prov…
“More support ... is critical. Because without staff, there is no care.” — @LeadingAge mcknightsseniorliving.com/home/news/prov…
“Inadequate provider reimbursement cannot be separated from the broader issue of improvements in care quality.” — @Argentum mcknightsseniorliving.com/home/news/prov…
"The onus will be on state agencies with #Medicaid oversight to demonstrate consistent program evaluation, maximize efficiencies, increase accessibility, increase quality of care, and improve resident outcomes.” — @Argentum mcknightsseniorliving.com/home/news/prov…
“We encourage a gradual phase-in of this requirement to ensure a successful transition.” — @ahcancal mcknightsseniorliving.com/home/news/prov… @CMSGov
.@CMSGov should "focus on the most meaningful metrics for residents" and align "quality measurement with reimbursement to incentivize more providers to participate in the #Medicaid program and expand access to these services,” @ahcancal says. mcknightsseniorliving.com/home/news/prov…
