The LaSalle County Board Nursing Home, ROE, School Services & VAC meeting on October 19, 2026, included procurement and budget actions for the County Nursing Home. Five bids were opened for a nursing home van. The committee discussed a lowest bid read as approximately $114,578 and a close alternative around $114,830; the transcript is unclear on the bidder-to-price details. A motion recommended proceeding with Southern first and Midwest second, subject to confirmation that the bids meet specifications and review by the State’s Attorney. The committee also approved PointClickCare electronic health record upgrades, adding approximately $1,300 per month ($15,600 annually) for clinical and administrative integrations, and approved joining the Illinois Aging Services Network at $9,600 annually plus a $1,000 startup fee. A proposed 4% increase to private-pay room rates, effective January 1, 2027, was approved for referral to the full Board; the increase was projected to generate about $81,792 in revenue. Staff were obtaining quotes for a fire-alarm strobe and audible alert in the laundry room, with no purchase approval recorded.

The Nursing Home reported September revenue of about $987,000 and expenses of about $677,000, and projected full-year revenue of $9.3 million against a $7.96 million budget. School Services described professional development and reunification training offered at no cost to participating schools, and discussed guidance and future training on AI use in schools. Health staff reported on public-health programs, regulatory updates, and a pilot diaper benefit; no additional procurement action was identified in those reports.
