So home health care providers are trying to demonstrate that they can indeed care for higher acuity patients and hopefully get paid for it. So it will be interesting to see how SNFs react to that. Also, home health providers are going through a lot of the same difficulties as skilled nursing providers and seniors housing providers, especially in the labor fund in terms of finding labor and paying for it. But also CMS just came out on Friday with a 4.2% cut to home health reimbursement rates. So SNFs... Read More »
