WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.759
All right, it's 6.30. We're going to call the meeting to order. 2.0, Mr. Williams.

00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:19.760
That's right. Lord God Almighty, thank you for the opportunity to come before you and serve the people of this county, the people of the Stevenson Nursing Center, or Serenity, as it is so called now.

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:20.600
and all of them.

00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:24.640
And I just pray that you would help us to receive well,

00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:28.440
to understand well and always have the best interest

00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:31.679
of the folks that live and work at Serenity of Saints.

00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:33.939
So we love you and praise you, Jesus.

00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:38.840
4.0 or 3.0, approval of tonight's agenda.

00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:41.039
Do I have a motion to approve?

00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:41.880
So moved.

00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:42.700
Yes, sir.

00:00:42.700 --> 00:00:43.539
Do I have a second?

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:45.799
Anybody?

00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:46.640
Second.

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:49.479
Mr. Bush, any discussion on tonight's agenda?

00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:50.960
Seeing none, all those in favor say aye.

00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:51.799
Aye.

00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:52.640
Opposed?

00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:53.479
Motion carried.

00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:56.520
4.0 review and approval of meeting minutes

00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:00.479
from January 8th, 2026, motion to approve.

00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:03.000
So Mr. Whalen, do I have a second?

00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:06.560
Anybody?

00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:07.400
Sorry.

00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.959
Mr. Hadley, any discussion on meeting minutes?

00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:12.959
All right, all those in favor say aye.

00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:13.799
Opposed?

00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:15.200
Motion carried.

00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.319
5.0 approval of tonight's claim,

00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:23.319
selling in the cash requirements and manuals of $2,095.90.

00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:28.480
Do I have a motion to approve?

00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:30.319
Mr. Whelan, do I have a second?

00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:32.599
Mr. Hadley, any discussion on claims?

00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:34.799
All right, see those.

00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:36.079
All in favor say aye.

00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:37.640
All in favor say aye.

00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:42.000
Carries 6.0, public comment, no public comment.

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.519
7.0 reports to committee.

00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:46.120
Okay, that's you, 7.1.

00:01:46.120 --> 00:02:00.519
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.

00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:09.840
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.

00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:16.240
The facility continues to receive strong and consistent support from our corporate leadership.

00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:24.240
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.

00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:31.840
Both the residents and staff are flourishing. The morale remains positive. The pay has been increased for the CNAs.

00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:36.639
The pay was increased for the LPNs. We brought back our PRN nurses.

00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.960
and we're down to a very minimal agency staffing at this point.

00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:42.360
So it is really, really doing well

00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:44.840
as far as staffing is concerned.

00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.800
And then we remain in a stable and positive position

00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:49.240
with our leadership support.

00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:52.240
We have solid census numbers

00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:53.759
and we continue to focus on teamwork

00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:55.759
and getting ready for our annual survey.

00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:00.240
Do we have any questions for Monica?

00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.960
Well, I'm glad to hear that it's up.

00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:07.960
How did that come about?

00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:16.960
It's just a number of things. There was different portals for referrals that were not being used, that are being used now.

00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:23.960
We have team members that specifically work on that. Carolyn, you might know her as the old AP.

00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:29.960
She has stepped into the admissions role and she is phenomenal. It's probably what she's been doing the whole time.

00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:44.960
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.

00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:56.960
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.

00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.759
and all the residents are happy.

00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:03.360
Let's just see their books.

00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:07.520
Just to see how quickly they're turning up in more.

00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:12.639
Again, just because that's been a frustration for the last few years.

00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:14.879
I know it's not on us anymore.

00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.600
I think she's starting to see.

00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:21.839
We also have a new business office manager, Tanya, who is amazing.

00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.199
She's doing a lot of groundwork with positive changes.

00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:30.519
Now, they also have Lena, too, right?

00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:31.519
They do.

00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:35.839
Have any of them been transferred over to Freeport or what?

00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:41.759
A couple did for some reconstruction at Lena, but they will go back, but that's not...

00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:42.759
Okay.

00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:43.759
We have six.

00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:44.759
Six of them.

00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:45.759
There you go.

00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:46.759
Chairman?

00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:53.759
Did I agree to say that C&As have been given licenses?

00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:54.759
Mm-hmm.

00:04:54.759 --> 00:05:00.519
Are they under the collective bargaining agreement still? We have not heard anything from the union.

00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:08.360
So these are just raises outside of the contract? Yes. As far as you know. And I think last month

00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:13.399
you had mentioned that there were no agency, but now you do have some agency? No, there's always

00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:19.399
been agency. Right now is the least we've had. It's been going down progressively every month.

00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:38.399
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.

00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.399
That's great. Thank you. Appreciate it.

00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:44.399
Any other questions for Monica?

00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.649
Thank you.

00:05:46.649 --> 00:05:47.649
All right.

00:05:47.649 --> 00:05:56.449
8.0 old business, no old business, 9.0 new business, no new business, 10.0 adjournment.

00:06:01.329 --> 00:06:02.769
All in favor say aye. Aye.
