WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.080
All right, it's 6.30, we're going to call the meeting to order, 2.0, prayer, Mr. William

00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:31.400
That's right, Lord God Almighty, thank you for the opportunity to come before you and serve the people of this county, the people of the Stevenson Nursing Center, or Serenity, as it is so called now, and I just pray that you would help us to receive well, to understand well, and always have the best interest of the folks that live and work at Serenity Estates.

00:00:31.400 --> 00:00:35.580
So we love you and praise you in Jesus' name and thank you

00:00:35.580 --> 00:00:39.800
3.0, approval of tonight's agenda, do I have a motion to approve?

00:00:40.940 --> 00:00:41.500
So moved

00:00:41.500 --> 00:00:43.020
Do I have a second?

00:00:44.760 --> 00:00:45.760
Second

00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:48.160
Any discussion on tonight's agenda?

00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:50.820
Seeing no no, is there ever say aye?

00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:51.240
Aye

00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:53.000
Motion carried

00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:58.640
4.0, review and approval of meeting minutes from January 8th, 2026

00:00:58.640 --> 00:00:59.980
Do I have a motion to approve?

00:00:59.980 --> 00:01:12.360
So moved. Mr. Whalen, do I have a second? Anybody? Mr. Hadley, any discussion on meeting a minute? All right. All those in favor, say aye.

00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:25.300
5.0 Approval of tonight's Claims in the Cash Requirements and Manuals of $2,095.90.

00:01:25.980 --> 00:01:27.520
Do I have a motion to approve?

00:01:27.740 --> 00:01:28.080
So moved.

00:01:28.360 --> 00:01:29.540
Mr. Whalen, do I have a second?

00:01:29.720 --> 00:01:29.980
Second.

00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:32.340
Mr. Hadley, any discussion on Claims?

00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:33.820
All right.

00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:34.400
See those.

00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:35.740
All in favor, say aye.

00:01:35.980 --> 00:01:36.340
Aye.

00:01:36.340 --> 00:01:36.940
All in favor, aye.

00:01:37.420 --> 00:01:40.080
6.0 Public Comment.

00:01:40.220 --> 00:01:40.940
No Public Comment.

00:01:40.940 --> 00:02:09.740
All right. 7.0 reports to the committee. Okay. That's you. 7.1. So our current facility census is all the way up to 78. We have 16 skilled residents right now. Our census remains stable and admissions and discharges continue to be managed efficiently. We are also pleased to announce that we have just hired a new assistant director of nursing to help Ms. Annette. So that will be super exciting for the nursing staff.

00:02:10.940 --> 00:02:16.080
The facility continues to receive strong and consistent support from our corporate leadership.

00:02:16.580 --> 00:02:24.240
Me being in the position I am, I cannot stress enough how much they've been helpful to the facility and to me and the positions I have to take in.

00:02:24.900 --> 00:02:33.980
Both the residents and staff are flourishing. The morale is positive. The pay has been increased for the CNAs. The pay was increased for the LPNs.

00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:39.880
We brought back our PRN nurses and we are down to a very minimal agency staffing at this point.

00:02:39.880 --> 00:02:55.480
so it is really really doing well as far as staffing is concerned. And then we remain in a stable and positive position with our leadership support. We have self-sensitive notes, census numbers, and we continue to focus on teamwork and getting ready for our annual survey.

00:02:58.000 --> 00:02:59.760
Do we have any questions for Monica?

00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:06.720
Oh, I'm glad to hear that, Joe. How did that come about?

00:03:06.720 --> 00:03:10.000
It's just a number of things.

00:03:10.160 --> 00:03:16.400
There's different portals for referrals that were not being used, that are being used now.

00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:20.720
We have team members that specifically work on that.

00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:23.680
Carolyn, you might know her as the old AP.

00:03:24.200 --> 00:03:27.400
She has stepped into the admissions role, and she is phenomenal.

00:03:27.860 --> 00:03:29.900
It's probably what she's been doing the whole time.

00:03:29.900 --> 00:03:44.680
And then we have Floxy from Corporate that helps with referrals and getting like a liaison type of person that helps get out in the community, helps Carolyn get out in the community and get her name out there to get more referrals.

00:03:45.480 --> 00:03:56.580
We've also done extensive training with our nursing staff to now take trachs and peritoneal dialysis. So that's very helpful, too. We took peritoneal dialysis before they were brought out, but yeah.

00:03:56.580 --> 00:03:59.560
And all residents are happy

00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:03.280
I wish I would see their books

00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:07.480
Just to see how quickly they're turning them over

00:04:07.480 --> 00:04:12.600
Again, just because I've been in frustration for the rest of the years

00:04:12.600 --> 00:04:14.220
I know it's not on us anymore

00:04:14.220 --> 00:04:20.440
We also have a new business office manager, Tanya, who is

00:04:20.440 --> 00:04:21.800
amazing

00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:25.140
She's doing a lot of groundwork with positive changes

00:04:25.140 --> 00:04:30.400
Now, they also, too, have Lena, too, right?

00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:30.800
They do.

00:04:31.320 --> 00:04:35.640
Have any of them been trying to go to Freeport or what?

00:04:35.820 --> 00:04:40.720
A couple did for some reconstruction at Lena, but they will go back with that stuff.

00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:44.400
We have six.

00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:45.880
Six from them.

00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:48.760
There you go.

00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:49.720
Chairman?

00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:53.560
Did I hear you say the CNAs have been given raises?

00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.920
Are they under the collective bargaining agreement still?

00:04:58.180 --> 00:05:00.440
We have not heard anything from the union.

00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.280
So these are just raises outside of the contract?

00:05:04.700 --> 00:05:05.180
Yes.

00:05:05.320 --> 00:05:06.060
As far as you know.

00:05:07.060 --> 00:05:12.460
And I think last month you had mentioned that there were no agency, but now you do have some agency?

00:05:12.620 --> 00:05:14.180
No, there's always been agency.

00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:16.600
Right now is the least we've had.

00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:19.620
It's been going down progressively every month.

00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:28.480
Going forward, I think our agreement, the agreement does say that we've written reports if possible

00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:35.340
to get that just so we can put it in the packet so that the members of the oversight committee

00:05:35.340 --> 00:05:37.980
can review it in case they have questions before you get here.

00:05:38.220 --> 00:05:38.360
Sure.

00:05:38.760 --> 00:05:39.480
That's great.

00:05:39.580 --> 00:05:39.980
Thank you.

00:05:40.220 --> 00:05:40.980
Appreciate it.

00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:43.800
Any other questions for Monica?

00:05:45.870 --> 00:05:46.450
Thank you.

00:05:46.830 --> 00:05:47.270
All right.

00:05:47.630 --> 00:05:48.570
Good work.

00:05:48.770 --> 00:05:49.090
Thank you.

00:05:49.330 --> 00:05:50.010
Thanks, guys.

00:05:50.010 --> 00:05:56.630
8.0, old business, no old business, 9.0, new business, no new business, 10.0, adjournment

00:05:56.630 --> 00:05:58.310
Oh, I said it, man

00:05:58.310 --> 00:06:02.550
Mr. Bush, Mr. Whelan, all those in favor say aye

00:06:02.550 --> 00:06:02.910
Aye

00:06:02.910 --> 00:06:05.470
Have a great evening

00:06:05.470 --> 00:06:10.540
Good
