I would like to make my concerns known concerning the 90 day residency period proposed in the Auxiliary Grant Program.  I own and operate a small 25 bed facility in Abingdon which is apporximately 5 miles from the Tennessee line.  We have been in business now for nearly 30 years and in the course of that 30 year period we have received many residents from Tenn. who wished to move to Virginia.  I was always taught in school that the Constitution granted everyone the right to reside where ever they wished.  In my opinion this proposal seems to negate that fact and makes moving to Virginia a very undesirable decision.  The proposed 90 day waiting period for public assistance will not only tarnish people's view of the state of Virginia but will also add additional burden on the ALF's who depend on that money to remain in business.  As we all know the A. G. rate in  Virginia is seriously underfunded as is, and homes will greatly suffer should they have to wait 90 days for assistance with caring for individuals who choose to live in the great state of Virginia.  I sincerely hope that you reconsider this decision and act accordingly.  Thank you.
