Future Looks Bright for logan county manor!

The Logan County Health Services and Logan County Commissioners are pleased to announce that the nursing facility licensure and management will be placed under a newly created nonprofit organization based in Oakley. The new nonprofit will receive financial support from the existing health care mill levy that had been used by the hospital in years past. This health care mill levy will provide for the nursing home's long term operations.

The newly created nonprofit will have 5-7 local members who will be responsible for the oversight of the nursing facility. Planning for the future of either remodeling the existing facility or for a new replacement facility will begin immediately. GraceTeam, a rural nursing home management company will report to the nonprofit and have been hired to assist in the oversight of the operations.

"We are in full support of this step forward as we believe this move strengthens the future of the hospital and at the same time improves upon our quality program of care for our elderly" states Mel Snow, President of Logan County Health Services.

"As our county commission looked at the challenges facing our nursing facility and a growing elderly population, we are pleased with this path forward to continue to have a viable and bright nursing facility program for the long term" comments David Hubert County Commissioner.

GraceTeam will begin working with the new board immediately and assume full management of the nursing facility on January 1, 2020. "Our plan is to keep what is working well, improve upon what needs improvements and assist the board in the planning for the long term future," states Dana Rice, Regional Operations Consultant for GraceTeam.
