Nursing home to close continued from page one for residency at the Willow Valley Assisted Living Center in Heppner, but others must make other arrangements to relocate. Vander Does said that another contributing factor was the loss o f $200,000 annually in Pro Share monies, which were federal monies distributed to the states to be distributed to health districts. However, the state of Oregon used the monies for other funds and the federal government cut off funding. The d istric t is ex p erien cin g financial problems and plans to float a levy in the spring to balance the budget, however, Vander Does said that he did not believe voters would subsidize operation of the nursing home to the extent required. “How much can you subsidize a few people at that cost?” he asked. He said that a levy just to support the nursing home would cost around 52 cents per thousand, with the rest of the d istrict requiring an ad d itio n al 30 cents per thousand. “The decision of the board was d ifficu lt em o tio n ally , but not financially,” he said. Vander Does said that the closure of the nursing home could buoy the MCHD bottom line as much as $450,000— $250,000 as the result of closure of the nursing home operations and another possible $200,000 from the federal government. If the whole facility is labeled a critical access facility, rather than just a portion (with the operation o f the nursing home), then the district will get more money back from the federal government. He also said that an intermediate swing bed p rogram , w hereby existing space may be eligible for "potential nursing home like residence,” has "some promise.”
