GAP Fund Remains Fund-raising Target
|
|
In 2008, Wellspring established a "GAP Fund" to assist Eaton Terrace II Assisted Living in serving more residents who rely on Medicaid for support. Because Medicaid reimburses ET II at rates below the cost of care, this fund will support operating losses that are created as we increase the number of Medicaid residents.
