I work in an assisted living facility in extreme southwest Virginia.  This assisted living borders the states of Kentucky and Tennessee. We are about an hour drive away from each of the two states.   We are closer in distance to the capitols of these two states than we are to the capitol of Virginia.  This facility serves the population from certain areas  for all three states. Why should assisted living residents be treated any different "discriminated against" when the 90 day rule does not apply to nursing home placements from out of state?  Our facility is probably 85% auxilary grant funded.  To pass this could be the straw that broke the camel's back.  Please do not let this pass!  If this home has no choice but to close, 92 residents would lose their home.  Forty employees would lose their jobs.  I would lose a job that I love and have had for 29 years. PLEASE CONSIDER ALL FACTS INVOLVED!!!!!!
