AYES: Supervisors Powers, Fanden, Schroder, Torlakson

ABSENT: Supervisor McPeak
ABSTAIN: None
SUBJECT: Eviction of Private Patients from Nursing Homes
When Their Financial Resources are Depleted
Supervisor Nancy C. Fanden advised the Board that she has
received a letter from Mrs. June Sanchez, 5852 Nottingham Drive,
E1 Sobrante 94803, regarding the closure of the Superior Care Center,
located at 13484 San Pablo Avenue, San Pablo 94806, and the effect
it will have on 200 residents (mostly elderly) who will be required
to seek other homes/facilities to provide for their care. Supervisor
Fanden expressed concern with respect to the impact this would have
on existing convalescent or residential care facilities in attempting
to absorb so large a number of patients. She recommended that this
matter be referred to the County Administrator.
Supervisor Fanden noted that the City of Berkeley has
recently enacted an ordinance that would prevent nursing homes from
evicting private patients once their financial resources are depleted
and they become eligible for Medi-Cal benefits. She recommended that
County Counsel be requested to review the feasibility of a similar
type ordinance for Contra Costa County and to report to the Board as
soon as possible.
IT IS BY THE BOARD ORDERED that the recommendations of
Supervisor Fanden are APPROVED.
1 hereby certify that this Is a true and correct copy of
