Region VII has the responsibility of issuing certificates of need to community health projects, public or private. Such action is a state prerequisite to any application for financial assistance, and is the first step to such building programs. There are in the mid-Cape tri-town area, according to Roberta Toole at Region VII, four nursing homes which have been issued certificates of need. If and when they become realized in brick and mortar there will be 431 more beds for the aged. The^ipproved certificates are for construction of a 142-bed nursing home at Lewis Bay Rd. and South St., Hyannis by the Margerison chain of homes; construction of a 140-bed facility by the Carmelite Order of Sisters for the aged and infirm on the grounds of the former Fernbrook Estate, Main St., Centerville; construction of Windsor Nursing Home, Cornelius Bottomley's 120-bed proposal for Main St., South Yarmouth; and a 29-bed addition to the existing Whitehall Manor Nursing Home, Rt. 28, Hyannis. Fernbrook a year ago denied a zoning variance to construct their facility on the sloping, luxurious 16-acre grounds of the old estate. Though tightly contested at that time the Appeals Board felt that the Sisters could not prove hardship. From dormancy Fernbrook reappeared last week. With lawyers, planners, and builders at her side Sister Mary Aloysius and the Fernbrook plan went before Barnstable Planning Board and smoothly, by a 6-0 vote, was granted permission to take their new and improved plan before Appeals. Despite the apparent interest in increasing beds on the Cape, nursing care for the elderly remains a critical problem here. It takes between one and two years for the effect of approved beds to be felt by the elderly population, and most people close to the problem agree that the growth of the Cape's aged population, and the rate at which elderly retired persons currently living here become in need of nursing home care, outpaces construction of beds. There has been criticism, in fact, of the accuracy of the statistics used by Region VII in determining the Cape's NEED. The administrator of a lower Cape home has called Region VII four years behind the realities here. It is the job of Edith Light, Continuing Care Coordinator at Cape Cod Hospital, to place elderly patients on the eve of their release from the hospital in adequate care facilities. Ms. Light every Monday telephones every nursing home on Cape Cod to find available beds. Her calls Jan. 14 revealed 13 total available beds. In Barnstable, Yarmouth and Dennis she found just four beds, two Medicaid and two private. "It's a considerable problem placing people," said Ms. Light. "The winter is bad; and January is the worst month. We have a lot of broken hips, elderly people who slip on the ice, or get more seriously ill because of the cold. They come in the hospital and then are unable to return home, often because they live alone. It's common for us placing a person ¦ to have to go to New Bedford or Plymouth because the nursing homes here are all full," she said. Harriet Hall, Administrator of Cape Cod Homemaker, a home health aide service, agrees. "I think the need is quite bad," she said. "I've seen a lot of elderly going to Taunton (State Hospital) when they most definitely do not need psychiatric care." Ms. Hall said that her service sees many cases of elderly people who are living in their homes with spouses. "The spouse tells us they know their mate should be in a nursing home but they can't afford this kind of care," she said. Is there a need for nursing homes? "There is a need, believe me working in this office, there is a critical need," said Jim McGillen, aide to Cape and Island's state Senator John Aylmer. Senator Aylmer himself said he has seen many tragic splits of elderly couples frustrated after months and months of fruitless search for adequate care nearer home. Nursing Home care is broken down into four "Levels". Level One is an Extended Care Facility (ECF), and includes the most sophisticated nursing, rehabilitation and therapy equipment. Federal Medicare pays for a ECF stay. There is only one ECF on Cape Cod and that is Falmouth Nursing Home. Best indications are that this is presently adequate and that critical needs are not at Level One. Level Two is a skilled nursing home, but less skilled than an ECF. Medicare is not accepted. Level Three is an Intermediate Care Facility (ICF) involved primarily in custodial care. Rest homes are at Level Four, staff do not have to be medically trained, no prescription drugs are dispensed, and patients must be ambulatory. The critical need, according to the people The Register talked to, is at Levels Three and Four. In even shorter supply are Level Three and Four beds into which nursing homes will put Medicaid (welfare) patients. And some 85-90 percent of elderly nursing home patients are publicly assisted, Medicaid recipients. While the number of welfare elderly increases, in fact, especially on Cape Cod with its large fixed-income retirement community, the number of Medicaid beds here has steadily dropped. Linda Drummond from Brewster is a medical-social worker employed by nursing homes on the Cape. It is her job to relate to elderly patients and make sure their psychosocial history becomes a part of their medical record. Although privately contracted by nursing homes her type of work is a state Department of Public Health requirement for Level One and Two homes and on Jan. 1,1974 became required for Level Three also. According to Ms. Drummond, and Senator Aylmer's office has concurred, what has happened is that the state Medicaid reimbursement factor has been so inadequate, and late and retroactive payments so slow in coming that the small nursing home is "just about ready to sink", in Ms. Drummond's words. Several Cape homes, she said, have stopped taking Medicaid patients, some homes have cut down the percentage of beds formerly reserved for that class of patients, and some homes have even moved out welfare patients. "The more welfare patients they have the more trouble, financially, they're in," said Ms. Drummond. "Right now a home needs about 60-percent private patients just to survive, and most homes are in the business to make money, not jusl survive." The Mass. Legislature in November passed a bill authorizing appropriation of $70,000,000 to finally pay off all the welfare medical vender's payments owed throughout the state since 1968. Commissioner of Welfare Steven Minter said that retroactive payments earmarked for nursing homes total $17,850,000. When Cape nursing homes finally get the money that is owed them, they will certainly be happier and financially more secure. But will they start taking larger percentages of Medicaid patients again? It does not seem likely. "I sympathize with the nursing home owners," said Senator Aylmer, "but awkward medical care for Cape Cod is untenable." He said that things have to be straightened out at the state level, but the beds must be found too. There are over 22,000 senior citizens on Cape Cod and when they need nursing home care it's a devastating emotional and social problem if they have to leave the Cape and the vicinity of friends and relatives who visit them.">

Devastating prospect for 20,000

By Dana Hornig The afea counsel of the office of Comprehensive Health Planning, Region VII, has in the past year reviewed building proposals which would increase the number of nursing home beds on Cape Cod by 500 if all the new walls were to go up overnight.
