Management Report 

Operations: Scavotto discussed the implications of the current DCRNC operating position and briefly reviewed issues with “IPA-pending days” and how they are being recorded; with Dietary personnel concerns; with the annual financial audit; and with the implications of substituting “Depreciation & Interest” for “Rent”. Scavotto presented analysis on resident days by payer, revenues, and expenses. The trend is that occupancy is down from an ADC of 184 to 180 and appears to be mirroring developments at other area facilities. The goal is for DCRNC to improve its net revenue per day to $135-140. Expense pressures are building, particularly with wages; accordingly, DCRNC will need to bolster its operating margins in order to address recruitment and retention difficulties in critical positions. 

 

Executive Session (Personnel): 

The Board went into Executive Session at 7:45 am on motion by Wilson (second Kirby, with unanimous roll call vote by the Chair). The Board emerged from Executive Session at 8:15 am on motion from Stromborg (second Wilson, unanimous roll call vote) with no action taken. 


Next Meeting Dates:
 

            Wednesday, May 30, 2001, 7:00 a.m.

 

Respectfully submitted,
