“Medicaid HCBS study shows ‘we still know very little’ about COVID in senior living”

“Medicaid HCBS study shows ‘we still know very little’ about COVID in senior living,” by Kimberly Bonvissuto, McKnight’s Senior Living

Quote:

Researchers found that for Medicaid HCBS recipients, excess mortality was 7.4 times that of other community-dwelling Medicaid beneficiaries and 26.6 times that of the general population. Excess mortality for HCBS recipients 65 and older was slightly higher, but comparable with older nursing home residents.”
