Medina County home reports stable staffing, resident activities and building maintenance work
Summary
County home administrator Greg Brown reported 41 residents, routine activities and ongoing building maintenance; staffing is stable with one full-time second-shift aide vacancy and some intermittent nursing openings.
Greg Brown updated the board on operations at the Medina County Home, reporting a census of 41 residents, one resident’s recent death after a 10-year stay, and several resident activities and events including a Super Bowl party, a pancake outing and arts programming.
Why it matters: The county home provides long-term care services for Medina County residents; updates on census, staffing and building maintenance inform commission oversight and future capital planning.
Brown said staffing is generally strong with one full‑time second‑shift aide vacancy and some intermittent openings for licensed practical nurses (LPNs) and aides. He reported a recent COVID outbreak that produced mild illnesses and no hospitalizations. On facilities, he said no emergency building conditions required evacuation on Feb. 4 and that architect meetings are continuing regarding needed repairs and upgrades.
The board acknowledged community support from groups including Kiwanis and “Friends” organizations that delivered meals, cards and events for residents. Brown thanked county administration for ongoing support and said he will continue to update the commissioners as maintenance and staffing work progresses.
Ending: Commissioners responded to the update with thanks and requests to be kept informed of building and staffing developments.
