The recently adopted American Rescue Plan contains two provisions placed by U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, allocating a total of $13.4 billion to help older people and people with disabilities, the senator said in a virtual news conference Thursday.
One provision provides $12.7 billion for home and community-based services, so seniors and people with disabilities can get needed help at home, rather than in nursing homes and other institutions; while the other provision provides $700 million to help nursing homes deal with COVID-19.
The first provision would help shrink Medicaid waits lists for home and community-based care, according to officials.
