Well it looks like the Genesee County Nursing Home is close to being sold to a private business. At the next meeting (September 9th) our local representatives will finalize their vote to sell or not. Most likely they will all vote to sell. Do they really understand what this county is losing by selling? The “Genesee County Nursing Home” has a top rating for resident care. Recent federal government financial aid has put the nursing home budget in order. By selling the home to a down state Long Island private business we will jeopardize the care of our “senior citizens” specially the less fortunate. When sold and new owners take over, many workers could lose their jobs. Many in Genesee County do not want this sale to go through. There is a face book page named “save the Genesee County nursing home” which has over 600 people who follow it and many comments written who are against this sale. Even on-line local news papers have had polls showing over 600 voters do not want the Nursing home to be sold. When people speak out there are usually 10 times that who feel the same way. Representative Ed DeJaneiro has been the only one to vote not to sell in the past. If you feel the Nursing home should not be sold, it is not too late, please contact your county representative or call our county clerk Sarah Kingdon who would get the message to your representative at 585-344-2550 ask for Sarah at ext. 2202, leave a message if she is out, or call the Count Manager office at 585-815-7819 and speak to Vicky. Both are friendly and will share your concerns with your representative, this may be our last chance to halt or challenge the sale. Your Representative are up for re-election soon and people will remember how they voted to sell our Nursing Home.
