FAIRVIEW — Lucy Dykes worries most about the nursing home's residents who have essentially nothing left.

In light of the state's looming budget crisis, the state's Medicaid agency has been paring down its budget.

As a result, some of the state's most vulnerable residents are at risk of losing care. There are low-income seniors who need Medicaid to pay for longer term services such as nursing home care that Medicare won't always cover.

Dykes runs Fairview Fellowship Home & Village, a nursing home in northwestern Oklahoma where 60 percent of the residents, 41 total, depend on Medicaid to pay for their care there.
