Gracedale's New Wing To Be Co-Ed

When Gracedale's new wing opens on Monday, it will be co-ed. Thirty-two beds. Administrator Dee Freeman told Northampton County Council that they've been turning people way. Former Human Services Director Ross Marcus claims the census is around 650.

Wait 'til they go co-ed!

But it's still unclear whether the nursing home has improved financially, despite making some positive strides. A 2% increase in reimbursements, which was supposed to occur in July, has not happened.

Maybe November. Maybe next year.

In the meantime, Lehigh County's Cedarbrook nursing home is $3.1 million in the red. And according to Council President John Cusick, Franklin County sold its nursing home yesterday.

  2. Floors there are already co-ed. And the workers there deserve a raise. Try to do a nurses aide job or any job in nursing.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
