Nursing Homes Care Is Important

Our Nursing Home facilities, like our schools, are an important part of our community. It is wonderful to have these things close to our homes, and with the price of gas, it may cause even more hardship for family to travel to see their loved ones in nursing homes.

All of our nursing homes are suffering and it would be nice if each of us would take time to make a donation within our means, to our local nursing home to help them to continue to operate. That Nursing Home may be a life-saver for you and your loved one as it has been for many others in our community.

At the same time, please write a letter to your Senator, to Representatives, and to Governor Blagojevich, encouraging a budget that meets its Medicaid obligations on time, while decreasing unnecessary projects and spending. Let's help get our nursing homes in good financial shape!
