On behalf of all of us here at Extended Care we wish our consulted facility staff a happy, healthy and safe

new year.

2019 will be another year of changes for Nursing Homes – don’t we say that every year? Two new

programs started in October 2018 for CMS that affects our facilities operations and one new program

starts in October 2019. All three programs need our staff ’s commitment in training and helping each

facility be successful.

These programs are: • Quality Reporting Program (QRP) - QRP started in October 2018 and if a facility is not performing

well (or close to National Rates) the facility’s Medicare payment rate may be reduced up to 2%.

These Quality Reports are on care issues that we have been focusing on heavily over the last few years

like: Pressure Sores developing or worsening in a facility and Falls with Major Injuries. So our work

in these areas must continue and everyone needs to be involved.

• Value-Based Purchasing Program (VBP) - VBP started in October 2018 and focuses on better

outcomes to the residents with Medicare (hospital stay) particularly focusing now on reducing

hospital readmissions. This is also something we have been working with our facilities on adding

Nurse Practitioner programs to some facilities; working with the residents’ Physicians are not

immediately giving discharge orders but assessing concerns and working with facility staff on

keeping the residents out of the hospital; create a “hot list” of those residents in their first 30 day

window of admission to the facility to monitor even more closely to avoid having to send to the

hospital.

• Patient Driven Patient Model (PDPM) – PDPM starts October 2019 and shifts a facility’s Medicare

Part A stay in a nursing home away from therapy minutes as the driver of the stay and creates a

model of therapy linked to clinical characteristics of the resident and creates a separate payment

piece for non-therapy ancillary services. Additional training will be conducted over the next several

months so we are all ready for the October change.

So what can our consulted facility staff do to help in these new programs? Educate yourself on these

changes, listen to leadership in changing the way we do things and practice good, safe care of our

residents.

It is not too late to get your FLU Vaccine. Influenza (flu) is a potentially serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and sometimes even

death. Every flu season is different, and influenza infection can affect people differently, but millions of

people get the flu every year, hundreds of thousands of people are hospitalized and thousands or tens of

thousands of people die from flu-related causes every year.

ChateauC H E C K O U T the event at

The Staff at Chateau felt it was very important to give back to their

community. In November, several staff members volunteered at People’s

Resource Center, the local food pantry for DuPage residents.

This December Chateau held a collection for People’s Resource Center.

They collected non-perishable food, household items, baby items and

children’s books. Chateau was very elated by the amount of donations that

they received from staff and resident’s families alike. They were able to

deliver two very large boxes of donations right before

Christmas. Neighbors helping neighbors.

Chateau held a Breakfast with Santa for

residents and staff families. It was a magical day

for all the children that attended. The residents

loved seeing their family member’s excitement

to see Santa. We are pretty sure a few of the

adults slipped Santa their wish list as well!

A New Year Is Here!

CHECK OUT the Event at

As we wrap up 2018 and enter into 2019 the

words “A New Year is here” can be heard in the

halls at Sebos Nursing and Rehabilitation. This

is the fresh start we have been waiting for! It is

time to begin anew and with renewed vigor. We

are looking forward to making and keeping those

new year’s resolutions, visualizing new goals

and making them reality and moving forward

toward success, growth and change! Here at

Sebos we are committing to making this our

BEST YEAR YET, a year that will bring all of us

closer to achieving our personal and professional

goals. We look forward to renewed hope, new

opportunities, new adventures and new ways to

give and love our residents. As Maya Angelou said

“We may encounter many defeats but we must

not be defeated!” 2018 was filled with lots of

love and loss and we were able to meet and care

for many new residents and families. In 2018 we

welcomed several new faces to Team Sebos. We

welcomed, Jillian, our new Administrator, who

joined us late December. We are excited to work

with her! Christina, our Director of Nursing who

has over 13 years hospital experience. Florence

and Milissa, who joined our Admissions and

Marketing team, have a combined total of

over 30 years of experience and Charlene, our

new Human Resource Director who is always

willing to help with a smile! We are looking

forward to see what 2019 has in store for Team

Sebos. Wishing you and yours a wonderful and

Prosperous New Year!
