NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- With budget cuts looming, Tennessee is cutting nursing and personal assistance services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the new fiscal year, limiting aid services and placing more people in community-based homes.
As of May, about 1,827 persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities received letters that their one-on-one nursing services would be reduced to 12 hours a day and personal assistance services limited to 215 hours a month, according to a Tennessee Department of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities news release.
