WCCC Census Rises to 23 Residents

The Worth County Care & Rehab Center has risen to 23 residents and has stayed there over the last two months, according to reports from Administrator Bev Miller. There were two Medicare Part A's staying there in July and three in the August report, which raises the bottom line even more. As a result, the WCCC turned a profit of around $11,000 last month.

The facility will have its annual Labor Day Picnic on August 31st at 6 pm. The Family Circle Singers will perform.

Leslie Schultze and Emergency Management Director Gene Auten met with the WCCC board to discuss emergency planning. Schultze noted that the WCCC was one of the few places which has a generator; it allows them to sustain themselves for a long time during power outages. The generator is inspected and tested regularly. During the outages associated with the June 28th storms, the facility operated normally. The Fire Department brings water to the facility in the event of an outage.

The board set the tax rate at 35 cents per $100 assessed valuation, unchanged from last time. Estimated revenue for next year will be $110,779.

The facility took four men out fishing, and they caught several fish. The facility has hired Courtney Hayes as Activity/Dietary Manager; she began her duties July 24th.

The WCCC turned in a net profit last year of $54,815.00. This includes $114,000 collected from the 35 cent levy that voters approved in 2007.
