Your commitment to securing funding for nursing homes during the pandemic has been a lifeline for many. By allocating tens of millions of dollars to support testing, staffing, and access to protective equipment, you significantly improved the lives of countless Montanans, reinforcing the safety and well-being of our most vulnerable residents.
Your leadership in opposing the Biden Administration’s proposed federal staffing mandate for nursing homes highlights your understanding of the unique challenges facing rural communities in Montana.
Such closures disrupt care, increase travel times for families, and make it more difficult for them to visit loved ones. Furthermore, they have already led to job losses of our dedicated careforce and harmed local economies.
By teaming up with bipartisan colleagues to demand the abandonment of this detrimental rule, you are prioritizing the needs of our seniors and ensuring they continue to receive high-quality long-term care. Your advocacy for tailored solutions reflects a commitment to protecting access to senior care in rural areas.
Your push for expanding telehealth access exemplifies your dedication to improving healthcare availability for seniors in underserved areas. By advocating for updated reimbursement rates and addressing the specific needs of remote communities, you are ensuring that Montanans can receive care conveniently and safely.
Your dedication to these issues demonstrates a profound understanding of the challenges faced by all residents of Montana, and for that, we are incredibly grateful.
