The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) considers WiFi a basic standard of convenience and comfort that any individual could expect in their home and are therefore considering ways to ensure WiFi access for all residents in all nursing homes.

If your nursing home does not have facility-wide WiFi access for all nursing home residents, please complete Attachment C from this memo and email to CMS at CMP-Info@cms.hhs.gov no later than December 22, 2023. CMS will use this information to evaluate whether CMP Reinvestment Program funds could be used for this purpose.
