PUBLIC COMMENTS

Ms. Amy Larson, Director of Nursing at the DCRNC, spoke out against the Board selling the Nursing Home. She described how the 153 County Staff care for the 130 residents. She noted that they are caregivers and they don’t see the world through numbers but through compassion for each of the residents they care for. The Board’s discussions have been more focused on the numbers and not where the failures came from and what part that the County has played in the many wrong decisions that have been made, Ms. Larson expressed.

Mr. Chuck Coulter, DCRNC Maintenance Staff and President of AFSCME Local 3537, expressed he has tried in past meetings to persuade the Board Members to vote in favor of the Nursing Home staff and residents but added that tonight he needs only nine Board Members to vote down the sale of the DCRNC. Nine Board Members will break the two-thirds majority needed to approve the sale. He went on to share that many Board Members don’t care about the staff or the residents and so they don’t care what they are going to say tonight but he continued to ask nine to stand with him.

Ms. Mary Roman, DCRNC resident and President of the DCRNC’s Resident Council, shared that when her family and she were searching for a Nursing Home the DCRNC was the best. She went on to commend the high quality of care she is provided by the staff. She also invited the County Board Members to a future Resident Council Meeting so they could see what they do there. Lastly, Ms. Roman pleaded on behalf of the resident council to keep the facility a not-for profit.

Mr. John Garman, a 12-year resident of the DCRNC, requested the County Board keep the Nursing Home a County-owned facility.

Ms. Carol Beemer, a DeKalb resident, expressed that she was concerned that the County wasn’t doing more to attempt to keep the Nursing Home under its ownership. She went on to note that her greatest shock was when she found out the Board talked about having a referendum but then decided to take it off. She asked the Board to please look at the Nursing Home situation with an eye beyond the money.

Mr. Mark Pietrowski, Jr., Mayor of Cortland, asked that the Board table the item about sale of the Nursing Home or vote no and engage residents in a public forum and to lay out options and more details in a public and transparent way and have us all work to think outside the box as well. He added that when he was on the Board, the Nursing Home employees contacted him about staffing issues and issues they were having with the Management Company. He brought the State's Attorney’s Office, Vice Chair, and County Administrator to a meeting with the employees to hear them out and had employees meet separately with the Nursing Home Operating Board. He advocated for the Nursing Home to change the lead person from the Management Company that was overseeing the Nursing Home and to go out to bid to see possibilities of switching Management Companies. Knowing how things went he wished the company would have been switched at that time. He also shared that if he would have known he could have just disbanded the Operating Board and moved things to the County Board to ensure certain things were done, he would have.

Tillie Mackey, a DCRNC resident, shared that this is her fourth year living at the Nursing Home and said she believes it offers the high level of care it does because it’s County-owned. She pleaded with the Board Members that DeKalb needs a Nursing Home and to not take it away from them.

A DCRNC resident, Patty, expressed how much she loved living at the DCRNC. She noted how well the staff takes care of her and she hopes that the facility stays County-owned.

Note: These minutes are not official until approved by the DeKalb County Board at a subsequent meeting. Please refer to the meeting minutes when these minutes are approved to obtain any changes to these minutes.

DCRNC Social Services Director, expressed that after working for the facility for over nine years, she has created a family-like bond with the staff and residents. She also shared that having worked at other facilities, the DCRNC is the cleanest, brightest, and friendliest skilled nursing facility she

has worked at. Other private chain facilities are disorganized, unkept, and severely lacking the quality of care. Having worked in admissions, she knows that the community does not want another corporate-owned facility and that the DCRNC is the preferred Nursing Home to send residents to from Kishwaukee Hospital. She requested the Board give the facility time to rectify the mistakes that have been made in the past by those who are no longer associated with the facility.

DCRNC Administrator Magdalen Niemi read a letter that was authored by her and her Nursing Home Department Heads. The letter expressed that the staff are committed to increasing the census and revenues and decreasing expenditures by even 25%. Ms. Niemi pleaded with the Board to pause or vote no on the sale of the DCRNC. She requested to let the Nursing Home find a financial cure period before any decision is made. Ms. Niemi also shared that the facility has a good amount of money in their bank account currently and will be able to make payroll and pay their monthly claims. They haven’t needed to borrow any money since March 10th and she hopes that will continue.

Ms. Lori Laidlaw, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Council 31, AFL-CIO, Local 3537, expressed that the Local 3537 workers have worked tirelessly through the pandemic because they care for the residents. She continued that AFSCME recognizes the financial difficulties that the facility is facing but they are at no fault of the workers or residents but they are the ones who are going to pay for this mess. She requested that the Board give them a chance. She also went on to note that the only one to gain from this whole situation is Marcus and Millichap. Ms. Laidlaw lastly urged the Board to find viable financial solutions in order to ensure that DeKalb County’s most vulnerable residents can continue to be provided quality and stable nursing care that remains in the hands of DeKalb County residents.

Mr. Chuck Simpson, DCRNC 30-year Staff Member and Vice-President of AFSCME Local 3537, pleaded to the County Board to give them a chance to turn the facility around and to be able to stay a public, County-owned facility. He also questioned how the County let the Nursing Home funds get so low. He added that it’s terrifying to the staff and it’s terrifying to the residents and they deserve a chance.

RN House Supervisor at the DCRNC, who has worked at both the DCNRC and other private owned facilities, provided some differences between the two. She noted that the team is working on getting new admissions and finding ways to cut costs. She also expressed that DeKalb deserves to have a non-profit facility as an option when they are choosing their long-term care needs.
