The U.S. Department of Justice sued the state of Colorado on Friday, alleging the state failed to take steps to stop segregating people with disabilities in nursing homes.The department’s civil rights division sent a letter in March 2022 outlining alleged violations. It said Colorado had more nursing home residents with “low care needs” – who could presumably live at home with some support – than most states, and ranked poorly in transitioning people out of institutions.Under the Americans with Disabilities Act and other federal laws, states are supposed to pay for support services through Medicaid so that low-income people with disabilities can live in the least restrictive setting that meets their needs. Those could include help managing medications, housekeeping, meal preparation and help with personal care like bathing and dressing, among other services.Colorado has too few service providers, the lawsuit said, especially those helping people find housing that m...
