Help us campaign for a Medicaid increase to save nursing home care in New Hampshire
Nursing home caregivers and all the staff who support quality care -- activities professionals, dietary, housekeeping, and maintenance workers -- are there for us, but too often our state isn't there for them. New Hampshire has New England's worst gap between Medicaid payments and nursing home care costs. This has created one of the nation's 5-worst staffing shortages, denying seniors access to care.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, other states have responded to the pressures upon care with sustained and sizable funding increases. With state revenues soaring, New Hampshire can do the same. It cannot "balance" its budget by ignoring care costs for its own Medicaid clients. A 15% Medicaid funding increase would put the state within the low-range of recent increases in other states, and give care a chance to survive.
Your citizen legislators are accessible via email or telephone. To find out who represents you, click here. You can then send your legislators, especially your senator, a message urging a 15% increase in nursing home funding.
Share a little something about you, how long you have worked, or lived, in a facility, or how long a loved one has.
Time remaining until next state budget takes effect on July 1. If there is no significant Medicaid increase, time will be up for many facilities statewide.
