Carries 6.0, public comment, no public comment.

7.0 reports to 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 have just started to 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.

The facility continues to receive strong and consistent support from our corporate leadership.

Me being in the position I am, I cannot stress enough how much they've been helpful to the facility and to me in the position I have to take it.

Both the residents and staff are flourishing. The morale remains positive. The pay has been increased for the CNAs.

The pay was increased for the LPNs. We brought back our PRN nurses.

and we're down to a very minimal agency staffing at this point.

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 solid census numbers and we continue to focus on teamwork and getting ready for our annual survey.

Do we have any questions for Monica?

Well, I'm glad to hear that it's up.

How did that come about?

It's just a number of things. There was different portals for referrals that were not being used, that are being used now.

We have team members that specifically work on that. Carolyn, you might know her as the old AP.

She has stepped into the admissions role and she is phenomenal. It's probably what she's been doing the whole time.

And then we have Floxy from Corporate that helps with referrals and getting, she's 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.

We've also done extensive training with nursing staff to now take tricks in peritoneal dialysis, so that's very helpful too. We took peritoneal dialysis where they were brought out, but yeah.

and all the residents are happy.

Let's just see their books.

Just to see how quickly they're turning up in more.

Again, just because that's been a frustration for the last few years.

I know it's not on us anymore.

I think she's starting to see.

We also have a new business office manager, Tanya, who is amazing.

She's doing a lot of groundwork with positive changes.

Now, they also have Lena, too, right?

They do.

Have any of them been transferred over to Freeport or what?

A couple did for some reconstruction at Lena, but they will go back, but that's not...

Okay.

We have six.

Six of them.

There you go.

Chairman?

Did I agree to say that C&As have been given licenses?

Mm-hmm.

Are they under the collective bargaining agreement still? We have not heard anything from the union.

So these are just raises outside of the contract? Yes. As far as you know. And I think last month you had mentioned that there were no agency, but now you do have some agency? No, there's always been agency. Right now is the least we've had. It's been going down progressively every month.

Going forward, I think our agreement, the Edgeman agreement does say that we've written reports if possible and get that just so we can put it in the packet so that the members of the Oversight Committee can review it in case they have questions before you get here.

That's great. Thank you. Appreciate it.

Any other questions for Monica?

Thank you.

All right.

8.0 old business, no old business, 9.0 new business, no new business, 10.0 adjournment.

All in favor say aye. Aye.
