*CMS Needs to Hear from Us!*

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has put out for public
comment, nursing home regulations called Preadmission Screening and
Resident Review (PASRR). The Preadmission Screening and Resident Review
(PASRR) is a federal rule to help keep people with disabilities from being
unnecessarily placed in Medicaid-funded nursing facilities, and to help
people in these facilities transition back to the community.
