PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The proposed use for the property is a Personal Care Home. I will provide 24hr living arrangements
in a licensed personal care setting for eight individuals. The residents will receive an alternative to
being placed in a nursing home. Services will include home management, escort, social and
recreational activities, twenty-four hour supervision, supervision of and assistance with direct
administration of medications and transportation,
The property will have numerous improvements and upgrades; which will only enhance the
neighborhood. Some of the outside improvements include: minor woodwork repair to the structure,
painting, landscaping to include scrubs and flowers; planting boxes for the residents to enjoy
horticulture activities in the backyard, and a ramp for handicap access in the rear. The inside
improvements will include handicapped bath, painting, new flooring, fire safety equipment and new
light fixtures.
As a master's level social worker doing therapy in the nursing home setting, I am very much aware
that this is a much better alternative than a large institutionalized setting. Also due to the decrease in
home health care services which I an also provide on a contract basis, Personal Care Homes will be
increasingly needed as an alternative for our seniors.
Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter, I look forward to upgrading a home in this
neighborhood/community; developing services for seniors and providing jobs (Director, three Nurses
Ades, RN -contract, and Dietitian- contract).
Sincerely,
Rosalind Hall LMSW
