I'm pretty pumped to be able to get the word out this summer and I have a few great ideas that I plan to incorporate. Of course the first line of business will be to go back to the hospitals and make sure that I talk to the new and old discharge planners and social workers.
I also need to make sure that they are stocked up on information including brochures and price sheets.
Then I'm going to hit the local nursing homes. Word has it that the biggest nursing home in Ithaca is going to be closing due to Gov. Spitzers new budget cuts.
It's not just scary for the people that are in this particular nursing home...but horrifying to the families!
Where in the heck are they going to put these 200 or so residents? Most of them are on medicaid anyway and don't have the money to be anywhere but a medicaid accepting nursing home.
The dilemma of course is that Ithaca only has two other nursing homes to house all of the people that need care.
What's going to happen when we get older?
Maybe I shouldn't think about it.
