“White House: Senior Care Facility Visits to Remain Banned Until Final Phase of COVID-19 Reopen Plan,” by Alex Spanko, Skilled Nursing News

 

Quote:

“Blanket restrictions on non-essential visits to senior living and care properties should remain in effect until the very last phase of the federal government’s plan to gradually reopen public places and restart the economy, the White House announced this week. … That rule will likely be in effect for many more months, as the federal ‘Opening Up America Again’ … does not call for lifting the bans until the third and final phase.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):

Medicaid trap sprung. Insure more people for LTC freedom, flexibility and financing now.
