Windemere is truly
_ a very special place.

B

ecause it provides the
services needed by the elderly
while preserving the environ-
mental characteristics of a
Herman Frankel Organization Residen-
tial Community.
There is complete separation between
the Full Service Convalescent Home on
the upper floor and the Supportive
Care Manor on the lower floor. The
building is on a hillside and both levels
have direct access to the extensively
landscaped grounds.

Rex Lanyi and Herman Frankel, the
developers, are particularly proud that
Windemere both functionally and
aesthetically provides a residential
environment that preserves dignity,
beauty, and maximum independence at
a time in life that its residents require
some medical and social support.

Words cannot describe the feelings
that created Windemere. You must see
it to appreciate what it offers. Please drop

T

he Jewish Home for
Aged and other public
and private nursing
homes in Michigan have ap-
parently won a half-victory in
their battle to increase
Medicaid funding from the
state.
The House-Senate con-
ference committee has agreed
to rescind Medicaid cuts pro-
posed for the 1988-89 state
budget. That's the good news,
according to Jewish Home for
Aged Executive Director
Alan Funk. "The bad news is
that minor cutbacks built in-
to the package will cost us
$1.35-$1.40 per Medicaid pa-
tient per day." JHA has about
100,000 Medicaid patient
days a year, which translates
to a funding cut of
$135,000-$140,000 for
1988-89.
Funk met with hospital and
nursing home administrators
in Lansing this week and
believes these groups will lob-
by after the November elec-
tions for a 3.1 percent infla-
tion escalator in supplemen-
tal funding. If adopted by the
legislature, this would wipe
out the minor cutbacks in
Medicaid and boost state fun-
ding to JHA by

$150,000-$170,000.

"With state revenue
surplusses," Funk said, "it
may be difficult for the
legislature to say no at this
point." There have been
rumors of a class-action
lawsuit by the hospital and
nursing home associations if
relief is not provided, Funk
said.
While awaiting final action
from the legislature, Funk
was told the Medicaid rates
established for Borman Hall
for the four-month period en-
ding Sept. 30 will provide a
$50,000-$60,000 windfall that
could offset some of the losses.
