Scavotto reviewed September’s financial statements, which showed an operating profit of $36k. All operating indicators were within normal limits for September with two exceptions. First, Medicare volume was very high (and it continues high for October). Second, collections were very light in September. Essentially, private pay and some Medicaid were the only receipts.

The estimate for October is that operating performance will be profitable to at least $15k. Census has been higher, over 180 in fact.

The Alzheimer’s program is moving towards the bid phase. The architect is preparing final estimates and changes suggested by staff. Our intent is to pull out the concrete work and try to get it done before the full on-set of winter. The rest of the work can be completed during the winter, indoors.

Scavotto and C Anderson then reviewed the HIPAA disclosure violation involving PHI of a prospective resident. Management has performed a full investigation and has taken further educational steps with all staff to mitigate the likelihood of further disclosures.

Scavotto gave a brief update on the status of Illinois’ supportive living program.
