The facility was built in 2000 and has seen multiple renovations since then, with the 65 rooms being private or semi-private. Its residents primarily pay through Medicare and Medicaid.

60 Seconds With Steve Monroe: The Biden Administration Does It Again

The new requirement issued by the Biden Administration to force all nursing home workers to be vaccinated by late September, or else the facility will lose all Medicaid and Medicare funding, has unintended consequences that even a moron could see. The rationale was to “level the playing field,” by which I assume they mean preventing workers from leaving one facility with a vaccine mandate policy for another that does not have one. So gee, make all employees get vaccinated or the facility loses 90% of its revenue sources. If they don’t have staff, they can’t take care of people anyway. The problem is that by picking on nursing homes, the employees who don’t want to get jabbed can go work... Read More »
