Mary Ellen indicated that a friend who came to the HCC for rehabilitation had wonderful things to say about the facility and staff. Mary Ellen will be attending the fall kick off of the United Fund on September 19th from 4:30 – 7:30. We are again eligible for funds so will have a table there highlighting our services. They will be asked to sponsor the aviary and fish tanks – cleaning and general care. Foundation also working on updating the brochure. Proposed changed to the bylaws have been turned in to Marty and we are waiting for board approval.
6. Kim discussed the proposed 2014 budget. Kerry has some changes that the auditors have suggested so we have no final numbers as of yet. We show a slight reduction in LPN and RN labor, increase in capital outlay because of ECS upgrades, and an increase in some equipment leases. Our revenue should remain about the same. We included $15,000 for the pro forma for the potential assisted living facility. Will have definite numbers for the September meeting.

9. Administrator’s report. Kim attended the normal meetings during the month of July. Kim indicated that we may be chosen to receive a grant to purchase I-pods for resident use. Music has been shown to have a profoundly positive effect on residents, especially those with memory issues. We also had the wage and compensation study in-service here for staff, met with a company regarding hospice services, held our first QAPI meeting here for staff. QAPI is Quality Assurance Performance Improvement which is meant to identify issues and find solutions to these issues which improves the quality of our services. Kim will go to Dunn County to speak about moving into their new facility and what we learned with our move.
