Suit Seeks to end Delays for Alternative Care

The Advocate reports that attorneys with the Advocacy Center are back in the Eastern District of Louisiana seeking to enforce a settlement agreement reached with the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals over alternative care arrangements. The settlement provides for an alternative to nursing homes for income restricted individuals that are Medicaid-eligible and age 65 and older, or disabled people 21 or older, who otherwise would qualify for nursing homes.
