Other counties are already going this route. Last Spring Cumberland County took out a $2 million bond to set aside 39 of it's beds for rehab. It should be up and running by early 2015. Rehabs owned by hospitals are springing up like weeds. That ought to tell you something about the income derived from them.<br /><br />More importantly rather then commissioners overriding Muller's veto of the $1.25 tax break (about $8 a property) they could have left the budget intact which nearly would have paid for the rehab Cedarbrook proposal. <br />LVCIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09034343739402945565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-65884222620892633532014-11-13T08:55:40.295-05:002014-11-13T08:55:40.295-05:00@7:32, i won't dispute you because i don'...@7:32, i won't dispute you because i don't have such figures, and you're anonymous. however, as a county resident and taxpayer, i accept subsidizing the nursing home; after all, i must do the same with the prison, which has no redeeming value to me.michael molovinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581039755319742687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-58643888065366487982014-11-13T07:32:49.148-05:002014-11-13T07:32:49.148-05:00Muller's plan does not restore fiscal health. ...Muller's plan does not restore fiscal health. Norco spent $30 million to upgrade Gracedale and it continues to lose more money than ever. Until the state changes the reimbursement formula in the welfare code back to what it was in 2006 county homes will continue to lose money and/or be sold off to the private sector.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
