Description
The two cases involved in this appeal present common issues, and were consolidated for consideration of such issues by this Court. Both of the plaintiffs-respondents are elderly ladies and have been patients in the Lewiston Orchards Nursing Home for a number of years. Both of them are bedridden and unable physically or mentally to care for themselves; neither of them have any relatives upon whom they can call for assistance. The record discloses that nursing home care is essential to their subsistence. Each of the respondents has income of slightly over $200 per month derived from benefits from the Veterans Administration and from payments under the Social Security Law. It is undisputed that privately arranged nursing home care would cost far in excess of each of the respondent's monthly income. Nursing home care in the Lewiston Orchards Nursing Home was provided for each of the respondents, with payment for such care coming from each respondent's Veterans Administration payments and Social Security payment, plus additional payments being made by the Department of Public Assistance (hereinafter referred to as the department or as the DPA). Social Security payments were increased by Congress, and because of such increase, each of the respondents was then receiving income in excess of that specified by the department for eligibility to receive assistance, and on April 1, 1970, the respondents' old age assistance was terminated.
