Schauf has been in contact with the architect and he has met with staff in Baraboo as well as HCC staff. He was not ready to present information to this committee. Has another site to visit and Committee members will be notified of the date and time. Fordham mentioned an article on ADRC's in the Wisconsin Counties magazine which was very informative.
Functional group is working on job descriptions for the ADRC as well as mission/vision/goals. Looking at cost models and organizational chart as well. Regional work groups are looking at relationship between local satellite offices and lead agencies. Long-term care redesign was discussed by Bill Orth. Staffing needs for both the ADRC and the Care Management Organization were discussed. Orth mentioned a proposal by LaCrosse County regarding Lakeview residents to recoup some of their losses from Medicaid out of county residents. He indicated that having a "locked unit" would be very beneficial to his department since placement is getting very difficult and expensive. Endres questioned if the beds would come out of the 80 proposed nursing home beds or be in addition to that number. Orth indicated the extra beds would come out of the 80 beds. Discussion followed.
Schauf discussed the timeline and draft schedule of events for the long term care complex. The necessary resolutions and bonding issues were discussed. Schedule is meant as a working document only. It would be optimal to have bonding done by late 2007. Also discussed the Gaps Summary document and making it available to all county board members.
Vandre distributed Form I for ADRC to group. Short term goals are broad and basic. Long term goals ( to be accomplished in 2008) will be completed in subsequent years. No official approval needed until May. Orth and Vandre will be presenting a discussion on Family Care, the redesign of long-term care and the ADRC in Sauk County. The forum is on April 30 at 2:00 p.m.
The ADRC space needs were discussed. Have discussed space allocation with the architect and felt that "traveling" staff (ADRC staff, Care Mgt. staff etc.) would need a small work area in the new complex, but not much more. Orth indicated that his staff may be doing more work from home (transcriptionists), sharing office space and making greater use of technology.
Governance of regional Family Care was discussed as it relates
to the local county boards.
Next meeting date is April 24, at 6:00 p.m. Schauf will confirm
future meetings with architect.
Motion by Borleske, second by Dippel to adjourn.
Motion carried.
Respectfully submitted: Al Dippel, Secretary, Continuum of Care Planning Committee
