4,000 Children Nationwide Live in Nursing Homes

In the Wall Street Journal today, an article entitled: "Babes Among Elders: Nursing-Home Kids" talks about how parents of disabled children seek lower-cost home care, but Medicaid pays only for institutionalization in some cases. From the article--

Thousands of other children are growing up in nursing homes across the country, many for the same reason as Ronnie. Federal disability insurance guarantees nursing-home care for the disabled. But in many states, its coverage isn't enough to let those people, children included, live at home -- even when the cost to taxpayers, and the strain on families, is often much lower.

We believe a sea-change is coming in reimbursement-- Assistive Technology not only can allow a disabled or elderly person to stay in their home at a far better quality of life than institutional care delivers, but at far lower cost.
