ANNUAL REPORT FROM THE DOMICILIARY COMMUNITY HOME ADVISORY BOARD AND THE NURSING HOME ADVISORY
BOARD: Ms. Lottie Massey, Centralina Council of Governments Ombudsman for the aging programs, came
before the board to make the annual report on group home care for the elderly in Iredell County.
Ms. Massey introduced the chairladies for both these group homes as well as Ms. Anna Rice, head of
the council on aging in Iredell County. Ms. Massey distributed the brochures explaining the commit-
tees and gave an overview of the activities of the homes.
There are currently five nursing homes and six domiciliary homes in the county with 719 long-
term beds. In 1990, 194 nursing home beds will be added and 92 domiciliary beds will be added, for
a total of 1,005 long-term beds in the county. The nursing homes have 24 -hour -a -day nursing, while
the domiciliary homes are mainly residential with planned activities for the elderly. The major
concern of the advisory boards is to see that the residents' rights are being observed.
Following the presentation, Chairman Sloan expressed the appreciation of the board for their
involvement in these programs.
SPRINGS MILLS - REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION OF BOARD ACTION TAKEN ON NOVEMBER 21, 1989: Mr. Bert
Walser, attorney, represented Springs Mills. Chairman Sloan said it was his thinking that the
November 21, 1989 minutes accurately reflected the intent. He read the amendment as it was last
past, which was "The amendment from Mrs. Stewart stating, 'Adjust the penalty to one-third of the
$6,291.26 or $2,097.15.' I understood that intent was the penalty would be $2,097.15."
Chairman Sloan inquired if there was further discussion.
Mr. Bert Walser stated that was what his understanding was.
Commissioner Hedrick inquired what the basis was for the misunderstanding. Where was Mrs.
Troutman (statement not finished)
Mrs. Lois Troutman, Tax Asssessor: I specifically asked the board to tell me how much to
release, and I was told to release $2,097.15, which was just one-third of the penalty. Even if I
had been told release four thousand and something, I would have.
Commissioner Hedrick inquired what the tape said.
Commissioner Hedrick said it seemed to him that if Mrs. Troutman asked a specific question and
we gave you a specific answer, that the board ought to go on that as opposed to (Statement not
finished.)
Mrs. Troutman said whatever the board says. (not clear), But she said she specifically asked
for a figure, because this has happened before.
Commissioner Hedrick said we need to rely on what was said rather than what was paraphrased or.
And if it's right, it's right.
Commissioner Stewart said all she knew was what the motion said.
Chairman Sloan said Mrs. Stewart made the motion, and that was my understanding at the time. I
don't remember the communication, Mrs. Troutman. I'm sure you're accurate in what you're saying.
