Item No. 99-16
Date: April 26, 1999
Item/Subject: Order, Adopting Alternate Continuum of Care Proposal for City Nursing Facility.
Responsible Department: City Manager
Commentary:
This is Me second in the series of Ordersdeafing with Me Pry Nursing Facility. This Order would adopt an
alternate to me com i -mum of care proposal that would realge Me bed mix widen the existing foi dMe
crent facility. Under this option, 15 to 20 of Me cannot beds would be arranged hcan long real to
makential care. The primary advantages of this option are the avokance of the requirement W relocate
Heats and Welfare and Me full capital costs asso kind] with renovating this space for a new purpose. As with
the full continuum of care pmppcal, it would provide needed residential one bels and a diversification of
services and should result in improved occupanry rates. It should, Mwever, be noted that this option will
most likely require some additional capiml expenditures w physically separate Me reskenaal core area from
the long-term area as requiteed by Sante regulations. As of this wrong, the potential road far such renovaapm
have net ton determined.
Based on come very preliminary financial analysis, this afternaave may pension better than Me full continuum
of rare proposal. We are continuing W refine these projections with the assistance of our consultant, Baker,
Newman and Noyes and should have numbers that are hare definitive in the hear future.
Finally, there also aenam some other lssces which we are currently investigating. First, we most determine
how the all can be divided between bill and residential care uses and whether such a division Is
wren possible. Second, we must she evaluate whether a facliry, which Is primarily double room o romency
would be suitable and effective for residential cure use. Finally, there may be licensing issue that would have
to be resolved with State regulatory agencies.
We hope to have better information on those names in the very near future.
Here again, this Order appears on the agenda at this time for firs[ reading only. /JJ ///�[��r���"[�[�J
