Repeal may cost area nursing homes $10M

One day after announcing Chautauqua County hospitals could face a $4 million loss in funding due to the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, state Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced that area nursing homes also stand to lose — up to $10 million.

That was the analysis by the New York state Department of Health for the nursing homes in Chautuauqua County, which is a part of the 23rd Congressional District

Cuomo’s office said the massive cuts in funding to nursing homes in Congressman Reed’s District underscore the devastating impact the combination of U.S. Reps. Chris Collins and John Faso’s Amendment and Paul Ryan health care replacement plan will have on New Yorkers across the state.

Those potential impacts include:

• Chautauqua Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Dunkirk — $1,847,118 in cuts

• Gowanda Rehabilitation and Nursing Center — $1,612,594 in cuts

• Lutheran Retirement Home, Jamestown — $1,601,528 in cuts

• Heritage Park Health Care Center in Jamestown — $1,294,253 in cuts

• Absolut Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation at Westfield — $1,194,152 in cuts

• Heritage Green Nursing Home, Greenhurst — $1,094,965 in cuts

• Heritage Village Rehab and Skilled Nursing Inc. in Gerry – $1,059,856 in cuts

• Absolut Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation at Dunkirk — $336,948 in cuts

Starting at $3.50/week.
