Oklahoma nursing home owners say they need more state funding for long-term patient care. Testifying before a legislative meeting on Wednesday, a group of owners said more nursing homes will shut down unless both the state and federal governments increase funding.
Last year, Medicaid paid out about $124 a day for each patient. Owners say actual operating costs were about $131 a day.
The owners want $200 a day. They say that amount would be enough to make improvements to older nursing homes and offer better pay to employees.
