Call the meeting to order, it's the Nursing Home Center Committee, this is May 14th, Thursday at 630, and is somebody going to do the prayer?
I can do it.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for your guidance and blessings this evening. Please keep everyone safe with the weather you are experiencing today and into the evening. We pray for a rain and we sure are getting it. This will help the farmers with their crops. In Jesus' name, Amen.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
The census was 80, and it said last month,
but in the minutes it's 74.
Well, I think if you want, we should approve the agenda
and then when you get to 10 minutes-
Then do that, okay.
We'll see if there's a-
Do I have a motion to approve the agenda?
So moved.
Mrs. Baker?
Second.
Second, Mr. Hadley?
All in favor, say aye.
Aye.
Opposed, say aye.
Motion here, at least. And then with the correction.
I'll say a point of information is probably going to be different every
single time I come compared to the report that I sent because like it's
different tonight than the report that I sent. So I don't know how much that
matters to you guys. Because that's what I have. No, I just listened.
And I said 80 last month, it was 80 when I came. But when I sent you guys
The reports have to be in two days prior to go out with the packet, so there's usually a change between what's reported at the committee and what's in the packet, is what she's...
So it's okay then to...
Yeah.
I'm assuming we go that way? Okay.
All right, that's fine.
And we'll go into review and approval of the meeting minutes for May 14th, 2026.
Motion to approve?
and motion to approve.
Snaker, Mr. Hadley, second.
All in favor, say aye.
Opposed, say aye.
Motion carries.
Approval of the claims.
Do I have a motion to approve the claims?
Oh, okay.
Tax requirement, $161, manual zero,
total is $161.
Motion to approve.
Second.
Mr. Hadley, move to approve the claims.
The following favor, say aye.
Aye.
Motion to approve.
And there's probably comments tonight.
And report from the committee.
Ballycock. Again, some of this has changed since my report. It was 75 on my report, it's 78 today. All the POCs for annual life safety are submitted. Again, the facility continues to monitor staffing levels. We did have to start using agency again the last couple of weeks because we added a few CNAs. So until we hire them from the community, we will have to use a couple of agency CNAs to keep that staffing
Ratio. So there was about 45 to 48 hours the last two weeks of HRC. Just a couple shifts.
And then this is not a matter of course, but I thought it was exciting that we're opening
our nursing department even further for even more acute patients. We're going to start training on
TPN, CPT vests, and LVM wires. So we've already done the training for LVM things.
So CPT vests are the vests that like you wear when you can't cough your mucus up and it
shakes it so it comes up on its own.
L-bed wires are a wire that's inserted right below your heart and it helps your blood pump
oxygen through your body.
And then TPN is total parenteral nutrition and it's an IV of like what a tube is but
We're looking at all of those, and I think that's exciting.
Otherwise, that's all I have.
Did I see something where the CNN Week starts today?
I'm so sorry, yes, CNN Week starts today.
What's that entail?
It's where we celebrate our CNNs.
We'll do different activities every day for the next week.
Okay. Isn't Lena doing that serenity over there by the same people, isn't it?
Each facility is responsible for their own activities.
Gotcha. Gotcha. Thank you.
And old business settled. Is there a new business adjournment?
Wait one minute please. There was a fine. Yes. We discussed that. Sure. So we got a G-Tag which results in a monetary fine. A resident fractured her hip back in March and then I reported to State of Course and then we had an employee that I had to terminate unfortunately and she was upset by her termination so she called State of
and they, she called them on short staffing and she reported this incident and they came
in to investigate and because the woman suffered a fracture, we ended up with a tag and a sign.
Okay, so how is that going to be handled?
It's already handled.
I've already submitted the plan of correction.
Well, we did the plan of correction right away when we got the tag, because you did
the plan of correction immediately where the entire staff, including therapy, got training
on gait belt usage and transfer status and ambulation with residents. And then what else?
We did competencies on the gait belt usage and transferring as well. And it's being monitored
multiple times a day to make sure that every staff member has all their equipment and staff
that doesn't have equipment is given it to them. Like if they come without it, we have
extras to make sure everybody has one. And then when you get the fine, what happens is
you have to submit the POC again. So that's what I was doing this week because I was submitting
and again. So it's like you do it twice. Okay, so we were notified on Monday the county since the license is in our name, they notified us. So as far as the payments concerned, how is that being handled with surrogate?
Surrogate instance. Okay. But are they going to, because I think there's a 35% reduction if it's done within 10 business days. And I think we as a county need to respond to that. Was that not correct? I already did. You already did. Okay. All right. So
Is Serenity paying IDPH directly, or are they paying the county and the county's paying IDPH? How is that processed?
They'll pay IDPH.
Okay.
All right. Thank you.
How much is the fine?
It was $25,000, but with the reduction, you take like 31% off, which equaled like $16,000 that day.
is there a motion to adjourn?
Don't move.
Mr. Bush?
Yes.
Mrs. Faber?
All in favor?
Aye.
Thank you for your time.
Our next meeting will be July 9th at 630.
