Mary Keating stated that the Human Services Grant Fund applications were due Friday, February 3, 2017. Sixty three applications were received for approximately 2.6 million, up slightly from last year.
Formal recommendations are typically presented at the first Health and Human Services (HHS) meeting in April. The recipient recommendations will be made available to the applicants when the Health and Human Services committee packet for the corresponding meeting is posted on the DuPage County website.
12. CONVALESCENT CENTER UPDATE - JENNIFER ULMER
Jennifer Ulmer stated the DuPage Convalescent Center Foundation will hold the next "Guest Server Night" at Ellen's Tap & Grill in Glen Ellyn on Tuesday, March 21, 2017. More information will be forthcoming closer to the event.
Ms. Ulmer gave a status update on the staffing at the Convalescent Center. A recent analysis showed fifteen current Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) open positions, which was close to fifty at the highest point last year. Ms. Ulmer attributes this to the Human Resource Departments' monthly open interview day, which brought nearly twenty CNA's to the last event. The open interview day and the recent wage increase to the CNA staff account for the 65 percent reduction in outsource agency usage since last July.
The DuPage Convalescent Center received another Five Star Rating for the previous quarter from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
