National Senior Citizens Law Center
Washington, DC
This grant funds training and technical assistance for legal services providers to help them fight limits being placed by states on Medicaid benefits and eligibility.  Medicaid is the primary government source of long-term care coverage, with half of funds coming from state budgets.  As such, financially distressed states are looking to cut Medicaid outlays.  The grant will protect access to vital long-term care supports for frail older and disabled adults.

Pioneer Network in Culture Change

Rochester, NY
This grant will allow the development and evaluation of a guide to help nursing homes choose among a variety of low-cost, incremental steps they can take to create more homelike physical environments for those who live in them.  The guide will be a road map, identifying several projects at different price points for each area of a building.
