Assisted-living homes evicting Medicaid seniors.

Assisted-living facilities in the US are increasingly evicting residents who rely on Medicaid to pay their bills, leaving them with few options when turned out. While federal law protects Medicaid beneficiaries in nursing homes from eviction, the law does not protect residents of assisted-living facilities. The evictions highlight the pitfalls of the US long-term care system, which is showing fractures from the pandemic just as a wave of 73 million baby boomers is hitting an age where they are likely to need more day-to-day care.
