It seems that these changes target the facilities that can least afford more regulations. The number of ALF's that will accept AG residents has decreased dramatically because the rate is currently too low. More regs will lower that number even more. That will send many residents back to state MH hospitals where the cost of care is $500.00 PER DAY!! IT does not take a financial genius to see what that will do to the state budget. I implore you to see what a great bargain that the AG program is for the state of Va. and help those homes and not try to impose penalties on them. Thank you for your time.
