Washington, DC – At a time of economic struggle and continuous rounds of government funding reductions, skilled nursing facilities are in danger of falling into the red, finds a new study by The Moran Company. The analysis commissioned by the American Health Care Association (AHCA) reaffirms what previous studies have shown – that nursing homes are already operating under razor-thin margins. Additional cuts to the sector, which are plausible through end-of-the-year budget bills currently being debated in Congress, would result in a negative margin for facilities, threatening America’s seniors and individuals’ with disabilities access to skilled nursing care.
