Obamacare Fallout - Elderly on Medicare Kicked Out Of Assisted Living Homes
By June's end, Prairie Springs in Sequim and Laurel Park in Port Angeles will have evicted six of their elderly residents because they are on Medicaid.
Lucile Cole, who'll turn 99 on June 13, and Edith Bateman, 93, are among the women and men who received a letter this spring from Assisted Living Concepts, the Wisconsin-based corporation that owns Prairie Springs and Laurel Park.
"The last day of Medicaid participation . . . will be June 30," the letter stated. "Thank you for the opportunity to be of service to you."
