Speaker: Reid Hewitt, Executive Director of Benedictine Healthcare Center in New Brighton was the guest speaker. Benedictine is a nonprofit health care center under the auspices of the Catholic Church. There are more than 30 campuses with multiple buildings at some of the locations. There are plans to expand the New Brighton operation. Benedictine offers 24-7 skilled nursing care under a Director of Nursing and a Medical Director. Transitional care is provided for qualifying residents who stay an average of 16 days. St. John the Baptist Catholic Church provides spiritual care including communion and last rights for those who request it. Reid described the oversight provided through the Corporate Service Center to assure compliance with all requirements and assure the best care, safety and comfort of residents. He opined that nursing homes biggest need is not for more state funding, but for the funding (reimbursements) to come in timely fashion. Reimbursements are not made till more than a year after the nursing homes have incurred and paid the expenses. |
