Pleasant Ridge Manor reopens wing for short-term rehab and hospice; hospice census grows
Summary
Trustees heard that a renovated wing reopened to host short-term rehab and hospice care in May; hospice providers have praised the services and the census includes roughly 20 hospice residents.
Board members and staff reported that a wing at Pleasant Ridge Manor was converted and reopened in May as a combined short-term rehab and hospice area. Staff said the hospice program has "taken off," with about 20 residents currently receiving hospice and short-term rehab care and positive feedback from local hospice providers.
Trustees asked about staffing and ratios; staff explained the facility must meet acuity-based ratios and that hospice agencies assume clinical care for enrolled residents while the facility provides room and board (room and board is Medicaid reimbursed). The executive director said additional rooms were opened down the hall to meet demand and that hospice relationships have led to increased referrals and occupancy.
