Grants help nursing and assisted-living add child care
The law creates a DHHS grant program to add child care in long‑term care settings. Eligible sites are nursing homes or assisted‑living facilities with Medicare or Medicaid certification. Each eligible facility can receive up to $100,000 for one‑time startup or expansion costs. Money can pay for building changes, outdoor space, and child care equipment and supplies. A facility does not have to own or run the child care itself. The law provides $300,000 in FY 2024–25 to fund these grants.
One-time grants with quality and eligibility rules
A facility that already received a grant under this program cannot apply again. A facility cited for substandard care at its most recent survey is ineligible. DHHS awards grants to nonprofit and for‑profit facilities by application date. The law does not give rural applications priority. Each grant recipient must make a plan within three years to join the state Quality Rating and Improvement System.
DHHS sets grant rules and reviews barriers
DHHS writes eligibility, application, and audit rules with input from statewide nursing home associations and other stakeholders. The department must meet with those groups before October 1, 2024. DHHS must find laws or rules that block intergenerational care and propose fixes that do not reduce safety or quality.
