COVID-19 Communicative Technology Grant Opportunity
Posted on January 27, 2021 by Lori Meyer
The deadline is fast approaching for nursing facilities that have not already applied for the COVID-19 Communicative Technology Grants available through the Minnesota Department of Human Services utilizing Civil Monetary Penalty (CMP) funding. Facilities have until March 1, 2021 to submit an application.
These grants provide up to $ 3,000 for technology—such as iPads and other devices—that enable virtual social and telehealth visits for nursing home residents. Under certain circumstances, applications can be made for larger amounts. However, applications over $3,000 must be approved by CMS and applicants should expect a longer processing time.
Interested facilities should download the Minnesota-specific instructions and application form. On the web page, click on the “+” symbol to the left of “Civil Monetary Penalty (CMP) Initiative.” The page will expand to show the available funding opportunities and materials.
