The 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.
