(KLZA)-- The Belle Terrace Skilled nursing Facility in Tecumseh will no longer be receiving Medicare and Medicaid funding starting in early March. 

According to the Tecumseh Chieftan,  the facility was notified February 8, that the Centers for Medicare and Medicad funding along with State regulators took action to “decertify” the facility. 

The ruling will not affect private pay residents and the ruling does not effect the facilities license.  

The decision was made after substantial improvements had been made to the facility to improve resident care and the building.

The ruling has no effect on the Ridgeway Towers Assisted Living facility.
