The Helgeson group did send a follow-up letter indicating that they would be able to provide a proposal for Prior Lake in three to four weeks. Although the moratorium for the beds has not been lifted, and due to decreasing beds in another one of their homes they thought the potential existed for moving or shifting a hundred of those beds to Prior Lake. Mr. Barsness asked Wayne Annis to indicate his thoughts on the potential for a health care facility in Prior Lake. Mr. Annis did an extensive introduction on the health care history of services in our country. Mr. Annis indicated that there are currently four levels of health care facilities in the nursing home business and that includes: skilled nursing care which requires a great deal of attention for patients, intermediate care which is partly nursing but more independent than skilled, assisted living which is adjacent to a nursing facility but yet independent, apartments for seniors that require no nursing assistance. The key element to all this is continuity of.cgre and Mr. Anni~ stressed that the nursing home facility must be community based.
