Virginia’s nursing homes provide compassionate, high-quality care for senior adults who deserve safe living environments and access to the best clinical services.
Yet widespread underfunding, particularly Medicaid payments that fall 20% below actual care costs, has led to staffing shortages, reduced services, and facility closures, leaving many seniors at risk.
As Virginia faces the silver tsunami of a growing aging population, demand for quality care climbs and nursing homes continue to recover from the pandemic. Our Commonwealth must act now.
We need Governor Spanberger and the Virginia General Assembly to work with providers, caregivers, and advocates to modernize oversight, update quality standards, and ensure fair reimbursement that supports safety, accountability, and sustainability.
