Committee approves $20-a-day room-rate increase at Hillcrest
Summary
The Henry County Health and Social Services Committee approved a $20-per-day increase to Hillcrest room rates after a roll-call vote; one member dissented. Members also agreed to review room rates each October going forward.
The Henry County Health and Social Services Committee voted March 11 to raise daily room rates at Hillcrest by $20. Member Marshall Jones moved the resolution and Member Kippy Breeden seconded; Member Shannon Bumann was the lone vote against the motion and the measure carried.
Committee members discussed the financial impact of the increase, noting staff presented an annualized estimate based on the facility’s current census. Some members expressed concern that the timing might be premature given recent changes in Hillcrest operational leadership; the committee agreed to adopt a policy of reviewing room rates every October going forward.
