Detroit Nursing Homes Receive Much Needed Funding

Posted by Jerrold Bartholomew on May 6, 2008

Historic East Grand Blvd Nursing HomeThe Michigan Department of Community Health announced today that Detroit nursing homes would receive $1.7 million for improvements. See this Free Press article for coverage. I have never visited a nursing home that did not have a dedicated, but heavily-burdened staff. And obviously there is no end to the needs of the nursing home residents. I can imagine that in Detroit in particular, there would be certain areas that would feel an acute scarcity. I am glad that the patients and staff of these facilities will be receiving some help.
