The Nevada Appeal urges lawmakers to support Choose Home Act
Support Choose Home Care Act
The continuing COVID-19 pandemic has shown the limitations and risks of skilled nursing facilities – as well as the importance of extended care at home beyond the pandemic. There is a better way to care for seriously ill Medicare beneficiaries after hospital discharge. Fortunately, bipartisan lawmakers in Congress introduced legislation that would expand home-based care options for seniors in our community. This legislation, the Choose Home Care Act, would establish an additional patient-centered home health option called Choose Home to help meet seniors' comprehensive care needs. Choose Home would offer extended care services in the comfort and convenience of a patient's home after hospitalization instead of requiring them to stay in a skilled nursing facility. It would also provide support, training, and education for family caregivers. As we begin the new year, I hope our states' lawmakers in Congress will resolve to support this important bipartisan legislation. Stephanie Mandeville Dayton
