Pine Valley administrator reports higher receivables, equipment purchases and staffing gaps
Summary
An unidentified speaker presenting Pine Valley—s report told the group that accounts receivable include Medicaid/Medicare delinquencies, recent equipment purchases raised credit-card charges and agency staffing rose while three employees are on FMLA; census averaged 64 in September.
Speaker 3 presented Pine Valley—s September financial and staffing update to the group. The presenter said some Medicaid- and Medicare-related accounts remain unpaid and read a figure in the record described as 'a total of a hundred and 18,421 and 6¢ dollars' (the spoken amount is unclear in the transcript and not independently verified). Speaker 3 also reported 'total leads of $44,913.89.'
On recent spending, Speaker 3 said the facility purchased two plate warmers ("they were $1,200 a piece"), a kitchen faucet (about $300) and two resident bathroom faucets (about $250 each) to fit existing sinks. "This month or for September, it is up over $5,000," the presenter said referring to credit-card charges that rose because of those purchases.
Speaker 3 reported increased agency-staffing costs while three employees were out on FMLA, citing an agency-staffing expense of $18,237.26. The presenter also read that a previously completed job generated a late invoice (check number 1101) for $3,200 because the invoice was routed to an old email address.
On census, Speaker 3 said Pine Valley hit an average census of 64 in September (the facility—s budgeted target), with a high of 67 and a low of 62; the presenter added the facility was currently at 60 residents and that the CBRF averaged 50 and was full with three people on a waiting list. "We did hit 64 for our average census for September," Speaker 3 said.
Speaker 3 listed recent hires and staffing changes: "Jessie Towne ... has accepted our director of nursing position out at Pine Valley. She's been with Pine Valley for 11 years," the presenter said. The presenter also named Mary as the incoming business office manager, noting she will begin Nov. 4 and recently moved to Richland Center. The facility said it has filled some dietary and housekeeping roles and will recruit CNAs through a January class at Southwest Tech, with the agency offering to pay tuition in exchange for a one-year contract.
Speaker 3 closed the report by describing recent and upcoming events and trainings, including eight staff finishing CBRF safety training and 13 completing CPR training. No formal board action on the financial report was recorded during the meeting.
The amounts and some spoken figures in the transcript are unclear; where the record is ambiguous the article notes that the figure was read in the transcript and not independently verified.
