California’s Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF) are a vital part of the state’s healthcare safety net. More than 1,000 SNFs across the state care for over 450,000 patients annually, 70% of whom rely on Medi-Cal. Support Skilled Nursing Patients is a coalition advocating to restore the Workforce and Quality Incentive Program (WQIP) that was cut in the July 2025 budget, and to ensure the 2026 state budget contains secure, fair and adequate funding for SNF patients and their caregivers through upcoming Medi-Cal rate negotiations.
Please join us in our campaign to support SNF patients and their caregivers.
I/we support California’s Skilled Nursing Patients and their fight for fair funding and continued access to skilled nursing care. As the state faces an on-going budget deficit, looming federal Medicaid cuts and the negotiation of the new Medi-Cal rate for SNFs, California lawmakers must prioritize fair funding for SNF patients and their caregivers.
