Interim study to examine current and future availability and sustainability of nursing facility care for individuals in Nebraska

This resolution (LR 180) directs Nebraska's Health and Human Services Committee to conduct an interim study on nursing facility care availability and sustainability across the state. It specifically examines access for older Nebraskans (over 34% are 50+), rural accessibility challenges, Medicaid payment rates, workforce issues, and barriers to care. The study will analyze current and future needs, particularly for Medicaid beneficiaries relying on nursing facilities. This resolution does not change laws but will produce findings and recommendations for the Legislature.
