East Wing of WCCC Renovation Nearly Finished

Work on the east wing of the WCCC Renovation Project is nearly finished and work will start on the north wing, the WCCC board learned at their regular meeting Monday. The therapy room size will be doubled with the old room to be converted into a chapel. Equipment needs for the new rehab room were discussed. The board voted to purchase one lift chair and one weight rack. The floors are being replaced, the hallway and rooms have been painted, and work is expected to be completed by the end of next week. Each hall will be renovated.

Last month was a three pay period month for the facility. Some overtime was paid out due to a vacancy that arose. The facility has hired a new LPN for the night shift. The property insurance was paid out in December. Utility costs continue to go up. A pump broke down in one of the boilers. The facility received $4,099 worth of memorial donations and collected $28,000 in old Medicare billing. Alec Ware was promoted to housekeeping and laundry supervisor.
