Financial Review & Decision-Making Process Session #1 – July 31, 2013
Tonight • Financial Review • Overview Board of Directors decision-making process. • Questions for clarification.
Respectful behaviours – Constructive Meeting • Questions for clarification, after each section. • One speaker, one question at a time. • Please use “I” statements. • Respect other’s perspectives.
It is the responsibility of the Board of Directors and senior management to monitor and ensure the financial health of Saint Vincent’s and to provide the best care and services for residents, utilizing available resources.
Since 2005 we have assessed our operational shortfall. • We have been working on options to ensure Saint Vincent’s is sustainable into the future. • We have actively implemented efficiencies to decrease the deficit.
Budget at Saint Vincent’s • 84% staffing – wages & benefits • 16% supplies, food, utilities, etc. • Daily rate is set by Dept. of Health & Wellness
Capital Funding • Is separate from operations. • All capital projects, renovations, major equipment are funded by DHW, fundraising, mortgage, etc. • The surplus in our audited financial statements adds together the capital and operating funds.
Our Land • Was paid by a mortgage. • This mortgage is funded by DHW and is part of the capital fund. • Operations DO NOT pay for the mortgage.
2012/2013 operating deficit $71,771 (after adjustments) Accumulated deficit $1,078,189 This accumulated deficit has been decreased from $1.6 million over the last 5 years.
We have cut positions over the past 5 years: • Housekeeping, nutrition services, management, reception, recreation, pastoral care. • We are at the point that further cuts could negatively impact resident care. • For example: we are funded $6.40/day/resident for foodand we actually spend $6.80/day.
All health care organizations are being asked to be efficient given the increasing cost of healthcare along with the fiscally restrained situation in government.

2011/2012 • wage deficit $61,662 • 2012/2013 • wage deficit $48,468 • 2013/2014 • wage deficit (projected) $35,911 Decrease is due to reorganization and cuts in positions, especially management and non-union.
Operating budget 2013/2014: $11,189,763 Includes: Salary & Benefits $ 9,530,587 Operating Costs $ 1,559,176 Operating costs include: Supplies, food, utilities, laundry, telephone, maintenance of equipment
From 2011/2012 to 2013/2014 – funding from DWH for operating costs has increased by $70,444 – 4.43% 2013/2014 budget 1% - actual operating expenditures have increased by $181,567 – 10.81% A short fall of $111,123 (projected) The fastest growing expenses are: Food – Power – Water - Laundry
No more cuts to expenses and salaries means having to revenue. • Opportunities for generating revenue is very limited. • Have applied for federal, provincial & HRM grants.
The Fundraising Campaign is ongoing to pay for much needed equipment and renovations – this money does not go into operations.
Discussion regarding paid parking first occurred in May, 2008. • Finance Committee • Board of Directors • Management was tasked with reviewing parking systems 2008/2009. • Fact finding continued through 2010. • Parking not pursued 2009/2010 as other deficit management initiatives were being introduced.
2011 – management had parking proposals and information updated. • November 8, 2011: • the Finance Committee (all members were present) decided to take forward a recommendation to the Board of Directors to introduce a paid parking system.
November 15, 2011: • A motion was presented to the Board of Directors that Saint Vincent’s Nursing Home charge for parking. The motion was passed unanimously. 12/14 Board members were present.
Subsequent discussions were held by the Board of Directors and Finance Committee re: • Union negotiation • Proposals from parking systems • Correspondence received from concerned individuals • Planning presentation at AGM
Three Board members, Director of Finance & Executive Director met on July 5, 2013 to discuss “next steps” • The result was family meetings – July 31st and August 7th.
Paid Parking Fact Finding/overview • Revenue to be realized will be approximately $40,000 - $80,000 per year depending on charges. • Revenue generated will be overseen by the Foundation of the Board.
Process to determine parking charge • Negotiate staff rate with CUPE. • Review charges at other facilities in area. • Address “special circumstances” • Volunteers • Palliative Care • Overnight parking • Families spending daily time with loved one • Persons on fixed income
Setting the rate will be done in a compassionate and reasonable manner. • We are not-for-profit so all revenues will be reinvested in resident care and programs.
