WHEREAS, the St. Croix Health Center has a long and proud tradition
of providing quality care for the aged and disabled citizens
of St. Croix County, and;
WHEREAS, this quality care has been and is provided on the basis
of need, without regard to income or financial resources
of our citizens, and;
WHEREAS, an inadequate state nursing home reimbursement formula
jeopardizes continuation of quality care for our most
needy citizens;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the St. Croix County Board
supports and calls on the State of Wisconsin to create
a peer group of county facilities which will be reimbursed
for the reasonable cost of caring for their residents, and;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the St. Croix County Board also
endorses and calls on the state to provide, adequate
funds to care for the chronically mentally ill county
home residents, and join with the county in determining
appropriateness of community settings for some residents.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that copies of this resolution be immediately
forwarded to members of the Wisconsin State Legislature,
the governor of Wisconsin, and the secretary of the state
Department of Health and Social Services.
