Management Report
Operations:
Scavotto reviewed preliminary results of operations for FYE November 30,
2000,indicating that DCRNC can expect to report an operting income of
approximately $250k. These results reflect the additional depreciation expense
involved in moving the new building onto DCRNC’s books. (For FY 11/30/00, the
income statement reflected Rent paid to the PBC; when depreciation was
substituted for principal payments, expenses increased by approximately $150k.)
The concern for 2001 is that this accounting practice will increase pressure on
DCRNC’s current margin.
On balance, Fiscal 2000 was a good performance for the nursing home. The capital
rate increase is still outstanding, although we believe that the State wants to
resolve the matter quickly. We have not heard back on the latest submittal, but
hope to resolve the issue while still in the year-end closing process.
Quality Improvement: Michele Green
presented on the quarterly quality improvement information, consisting of the
annual summary, resident satisfaction surveys, and current quality indicators.
Michele reviewed areas that need improvement and summarized the action steps
that are being planned. Progress on implementing corporate compliance was
detailed.
Wellspring: Chris Hacker reviewed our
progress on this continuous quality improvement initiative and handed out
summary information for the Board.
Executive Session: On roll call vote, the Board went into executive
session at 8:00 am and emerged from executive session at 8:20 am (motion Wilson,
Second Casella). It was moved (Wilson) and seconded (Casella) that the incentive
compensation plan be administered as written
Next Meeting Date:
