The WCCC's therapy department is seeing around 15 patients per day, Administrator Bev Miller told the WCCC Board at their regular meeting last Wednesday. This is much higher than a few months ago, when they were lucky to see one or two patients per day. Currently, there are five Part A patients, five part B patients, and five outpatients. Before, the WCCC had a dilemma about how to get patients into therapy. Now, the problem is how to manage things so that they can see everyone. The WCCC now offers therapy for people of all ages; appointments are necessary to schedule a treatment. Patients have a choice in who to use for their therapy, meaning that people can choose to take their therapy close to home rather than go to Maryville or Albany.
A drain failure in the basement led to flooding; Miller will call around for solutions involving the guttering. Miller also reported that she was working on the WCCC website and that the Employee Recognition Day went well.
The board approved the new budget for the 2014-2015 fiscal year. This is the earliest that they have approved the budget in recent times. It projects an estimated $80,000 surplus, including the tax revenues that were approved by voters several years ago. Revenues were expected to rise from $1,164,327 to $1,519,530. This includes an increase in $200,000 worth of revenues from room and board, Medicare, and Medicaid. Revenues from services like Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy were expected to rise by $30,000 next year. Expenses were expected to rise slightly, from $1,506,831 to $1,530,498. Property tax revenue was expected to bring in $91,000, for a net profit of $80,032. The budget was written for 25 residents. The census is currently at 29, meaning that these figures could be better than projected. This is up two from last month; two patients were able to return to their homes last month. Miller cautioned that she had no idea how to budget the Physical Therapy revenues.
