Nursing center remodeling underway; referrals and census rising
Summary
The county nursing center began room remodeling and migrated to an electronic referral system; staff survey scores were positive and census is expected to be 50.
County officials reported that remodeling at the Stevenson County Nursing Center began Sept. 6 and that staff have been prepping, priming and painting resident rooms as part of the project.
Nursing Center oversight (reported by County Board member Mrs. Baker) said the facility conducted a staff survey with a high average rating; the transcript indicated an average of 4.83 out of 5. The facility also migrated to an electronic referral system so referrals come through a centralized location; staff reported 18 referrals last week and three new admissions this week, with a new resident starting tomorrow. The center’s census was projected to reach 50 on the following day.
Mrs. Baker noted the positive early results and steady intake; the transcript does not provide renovation cost figures, contractor names, or a renovation completion date.
Next steps: the nursing center will continue renovations and manage referrals through the new electronic process; specific timelines and financials were not provided in the public record.
