Watch: MCH Residents Host PNA Event

MCH residents Deb Leary and Karen Shaw join state and local leaders at MCH to advocate for an increase to the Personal Needs Allowance (PNA), a $50 monthly allowance for nursing home residents that has remained unchanged since 1988.

Those looking to learn more and support the increase can sign a petition hosted by the Office of Aging at Raise The Personal Needs Allowance (PNA).
