Hello from the State Capitol,
?
Nursing homes in southwestern Minnesota have begun receiving their portion of the $300 million infusion in state funding that the Legislature approved last May.
?
I was pleased to help support the new revenue increase proposal after Governor Tim Walz and the House Democrat majority dedicated just $3.9 million to new nursing home funding in their original budget proposals for the new biennium. It was a shame that the Governor and party leaders waited until the very end of the session to address this critical need.
?
Our nursing homes have been operating in crisis mode, and a response from state government was necessary. While this money will not solve all of their problems, I?m hopeful it will be welcomed by facilities that have struggled to survive.
?
Here?s how area nursing homes will fare under this new law, as each facility will receive an equal amount in both 2023 and 2024:

Caring for the elderly and the disabled is not a partisan issue, but it unfortunately became one during the 2023 session. House Republicans identified increased nursing home funding as a priority last session and it is good we were able to deliver additional support.

Talk to you soon,
