St. Paul, MN – State Representative Peter Fischer (DFL-Maplewood) announced local nursing homes received a significant amount of new state funding on August 1 as part of a bipartisan agreement to stabilize a sector of the economy facing financial hardship. Local nursing homes will receive another significant one-time payment on Aug. 1, 2024.
“Our most vulnerable Minnesotans need the best care possible,” said Rep. Peter Fischer. “The infusion of these funds will help our state’s nursing homes and those who care for the residents.
