Gimmie All Your Money. Now Get Out.
Mark this post. Look at this news story from New Jersey. A year from now this will be a common theme amongst nursing homes and long-term care facilities throughout the country... we are seeing just the beginning of this trend to make nursing homes and long-term care facilities as profitable as possible in the face of slimming budgets and corporate ownership.
Its no secret that Medicare and private-pay residents are far more lucrative for facilities that Medicaid recipients. As budgets for nursing homes and long-term care facilities begin to tighten and people live longer than ever, it only a matter of time before facilities evict those less lucrative residents.
Now facilities can not order you out of the facility on a whim. Strict removal protocols must be followed. If you believe that the facility evicting you based on your economic situation, you should contact your state ombudsman immediately.
