BORMAN HALL page 1

Operating a skilled nursing
home is too expensive for the
Federation, officials said.*Jack
Robinson, president of the
United Jewish Foundation, said
that over the past five years the
community has allocated more
than $15 million to the Jewish
Home for Aged. Much of that
money went to help Borman
Hall upgrade after three failed
state inspections.
Janice Shatzman, chairman
of the Borman Hall Transition
Task Force, was charged with
the responsibility of discover-
ing the best alternative to
Borman Hall.
Her task force set out to find
a nursing home that would
meet three objectives: accept
all Borman residents, offer
Jewish food service and pro-
gramming, and enable
Federation to exit the business
side of skilled nursing
homes.
"We thought (MediLodge)
was a very good opportunity ac-
complishing those objectives,"
Ms. Shatzman said. "When the
task force started, we didn't
even expect that we'd have a
continuing Jewish facility. It
turned out to be even better
than expected. When Mr.
Wronski came to us, he said he
was interested in operating

(Mount Vernon) as a Jewish fa-
cility and that he has a ready
market."
Federation President David
Page said Mr. Wronski's cre-
dentials are good. "With every
reference check we made, he
came out with having excellent
marks," Mr. Page said.
In addition to owning and
operating six skilled nursing
homes, Mr. Wronski has two
retirement facilities in south-
eastern Michigan. He also has
20 years of experience in the
skilled nursing-home business.
Mr. Wronski's nearby facili-
ties include Beverly Hills
Nursing Center, Faith Medical
Care Center, MediLodge of
Howell, MediLodge of
Richmond, MediLodge of Yale
and Pine Knoll Convalescent
Center.
Dr. Richard Yerian, chief
medical consultant for the
Michigan Bureau of Health
Systems, said: "Mr. Wronski is
doing quite well. The
MediLodge name does not keep
popping across my desk. We're
not doing battle with them."
So far, no buyer has been
found for the Seven Mile Road
Borman Hall facility.
Federation officials will not
comment on the 28-year-old
buildings market value. ❑

Sarajevo Muslim
Makes Aliyah

Tel Aviv (JTA) — The Ser-
bian Muslim driver for the
Jewish community in Sara-
jevo has been allowed to
emigrate with his family to
Israel.
Jewish Agency officials
said the man, Rasheed Hoz-
nic, 45, had arrived in Israel
with his family over the
weekend.
When hostilities broke out
in Sarajevo, Hoznic, along
with his wife, Zorica, and
their sons, Zlatan, 16, and
Goran, 13, decided to throw
in their lot with the Jewish
community in the Bosnian
capital.
Hoznic began helping out
at Sarajevo's Jewish Com-
munity Center. Confronted
by sniper fire, he would
nonetheless drive around
the city on missions for the
Jewish community. He also
helped out in the community
center's kitchen, where food
was served to hundreds of

needy Sarajevo residents,
Jews and non-Jews alike.
His "salary" was a plate of
soup each day.
Zorica and their children
meanwhile fled to Belgrade,
where they began undergo-
ing conversion to Judaism.
When a bus convoy left
Sarajevo three weeks ago
with Jewish and non-Jewish
refugees from the besieged
city, Hoznic was set to be
reunited with his family.
Together with those Jews
who decided to make aliyah,
he traveled to Budapest. But
there a disappointment
awaited him: his family had
not yet arrived, and because
he was not Jewish, Hoznic
was not eligible to enter
Israel under the Law of
Return.
But his wife and sons soon
made their way to Budapest.
Because they had already
converted, he was eligible to
join them for the trip to
Israel. ❑
