Support Fair Funding for Arkansas Seniors

DHS has frozen funding for Medicaid residents at $86.73 a day, even though their own analysis shows it costs $132.33/day to care for each resident.

Why this rate freeze hurts seniors

DHS’s consultants confirmed that the true daily cost of care is $132.33, but they chose to maintain the current rate of $86.73/day.
This underfunding affects:
- Staffing and retention
- Resident programs and activities
- Access to care for Medicaid seniors
Without fair rates, providers can’t sustain services, putting community-based living at risk.

Make your voice heard to help our seniors, families, caregivers, and providers in Arkansas.

DHS is accepting public comments until November 22, 2025. ACT NOW!
