a.
Management Report
– Operations
Financial statements for September and October were reviewed with Scavotto
presenting overall performance. Private pay days for October were corrected to
read 1937 rather than 1942. Both months were better than anticipated, especially
October where we experienced a cut in Medicare reimbursement of $30 per day.
Strong Medicare and private pay volumes continued to be the distinguishing
factor in operating performance. Costs continue to be well-managed by department
managers.
IDPH has not yet acted upon our request for certifying all beds for Medicare. We
expect action prior to December 1.
The intergovernmental transfer is moving through channels and initial reports
are that payments will be retroactive to October 1. We will probably book these
revenues in the next fiscal year.
IPA missed (delayed) a payment and, as a result, accounts receivable are higher
than normal.
Negotiations with AFSCME are under way. Cathy Anderson leads the negotiation
team.
The development of the Alzheimer’s program was presented by C. Anderson and
included the initial thinking on facility renovations. The senior living study
is progressing; assisted living does not appear to be a good option.
Respectfully submitted,
Catherine Anderson
Recording Secretary
