SUBJECT: REGENCY HILLS CONVALESCENT HOME
Mary Erbez (City of Pittsburg) called me at home last night and indicated that they are
interested in seeing if the County would like to buy or lease and continue to operate the
Regency Hills Convalescent Facility. She believes that this could be done at a profit to
the County. She has indicated that they do not want to see the facility sold to an
`outside" buyer. I indicated that continuity of care was my primary concern, and Mary
agreed.
I am not clear on whether it would be fiscally feasible for the County to participate. She
indicated a sale value for the facility of $3.6 Million and a lease figure of $32,000 per
month as an alternative. She also indicated that the latter figure is negotiable, and that
she was looking for a "win-win" situation if possible. I agree that it would be a very
positive thing if we could come to some type of of agreement that takes care of the
patients and is financially feasible.
I would like to know your thoughts on this proposal.
