    FUNDING SOURCES FOR MAINE NURSING HOMES FOR FISCAL

    YEAR 2014-15

    LD 1776 provided $12.3 million in additional funding to Nursing facilities
    $4 million in State funds
    $700,000 from additional provider tax revenue
    $7.7 million in Federal matching funds

    The Legislature was only able to identify about 1/3 of the amount Nursing
    Facilities truly needed. The Governor proposed L.D. 1864, allocating an additional
    $5 million, but Democrats rejected it. They left the job undone, so the LePage
    Administration has worked to identify additional funding to support this priority.

    The administration was able to identify a total of $13.1 million in additional
    resources, which will more than double the total amount that Nursing Facilities
    would have received from the Legislature.
    $4.6 million in State funds
    $8.5 million in Federal matching funds

    This is a total of $25.4 million in new funding for nursing facilities, that will help
    ensure adequate financial resources to keep Maines elderly safe and secure.
