Felder questions whether facility could include rehabilitation use
Felder asks if the facility might serve short-term rehabilitation patients, which would require more parking. Palatnik says it is intended as long-term care, but state-authorized beds could allow operator discretion.
I would just suggest that the– is this place going to service, for example, somebody who has surgery and needs to–
you know, a place to...
It will have skilled nursing facility operations.
It's really meant as a long-term care facility.
The purpose of it is to create a home for people to come to, not a place for people to go get better.
If somebody has, say, hip surgery where they need to be somewhere for a year or something where there's an extenuating circumstances,
No, but not for my mother is having problems with her legs.
She needs something for two months to call us.
She wouldn't be there for two months.
It's really meant for a year or longer, and really permanent residency is the goal.
Okay.
I don't know how that is in any way.
I don't know how or if that's guaranteed because the closest place that I know that they own, you know, is a different type of place than Imanity's Hospital.
You know, they can use more space, a place where people...
will come maybe not to all the floors, but to two floors or whatever else, where people will come to hurry, you know, to rest up or rehabilitate or whatever else.
And my inclination is that even though they are not saying it, that is what's going to happen.
That they are going to take two floors or whatever, you know, and use it for that purpose.
And certainly if that is what happens, then they need more cost.
Yes, that's a horse of a different color, entirely different story.
You tend to get people of all different age brackets in there, all different abilities.
So, yes.
You're the expert.
