Yesterday President Obama was hand delivered a letter advocating for resolution on the recent actions of CMS that threaten to push low-income seniors out of adult care homes and into institutional settings.
If nothing is done by April 30, CMS’ action will eliminate the Adult Care Home option for seniors in North Carolina. This could potentially make more than 11,000 frail seniors, including those with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, homeless.
Tuesday morning, Rep. Butterfield hand delivered this letter to President Obama aboard Air Force One. The North Carolina Assisted Living Association and ALFA will continue to work on this issue and still hope to gain resolution by April 30.
