PUBLIC COMMENT SOUGHT Three Firms Competing For Nursing Home Beds A June 12 public hearing at Brunswick Community College is just part one part of a lengthy state review process under way for three firms that have applied for the 60 nursing home beds that will be li censed this year in Brunswick County. Two local facilities that hope to expand their services and a Virginia company have applied for the beds, said Keith Caughran, a project ana lyst in the certificate of needs sec tion of the state Division of Facility Services. Based on estimated need, the di vision's health planning scciion al located 60 nursing home beds this year in Brunswick County. Nursing home beds in North Carolina arc classified as either skilled-care beds, intermediate-care beds or home for the aged (H.A.) beds. H.A. beds arc not included as part of the 60 beds allocated. T&G Properties, which operates Brunswick Village Rest Home of Shallouc, has applied for 30 skilled care beds and 30 intcrmcdiate-carc beds. The cost of the facility is esti mated at S1.33 million. Brunswick Cove Nursing Center, Inc., of Lcland, the newest facility in the county, will offer 20 skilled, 40 intermediate and 20 H.A. beds when it opens. Like Brunswick Village, Brunswick Cove has ap plied for another 30 skilled beds and 30 intermediate beds, with con slruction costs estimated at $880,500. The third agency ? HP/North Carolina 1, Inc., of Roanoke, Va. ? has applied for 30 skilled, 30 inter mediate-care and 20 H.A. beds. Caughran said the estimated cost of construction is SI. 77 million. The company plans to build on U.S. 17 north of Bolivia, according to a tax map listing on their applica tion and information from the Brunswick County Tax Department. Caughran said the certificate of need review process started April 1 and will last between 90 and 150 days. Applications arc reviewed us ing about 15 criteria including fi nancial feasibility of their plans and a site evaluation. The review will include a public hearing Tuesday, June 12, at 1:30 p.m. in the ALS Building teaching auditorium at Brunswick Commun ity College's main campus in Sup ply. Caughran said public participa tion at hearings varies depending on local interest. Some hearings attract only a handful of people while oth ers draw several hundred. Local residents also have until May 16 to submit written comments to the Certificate of Needs Section, Department of Human Resources, Division of Facility Services, 701 Barbour Drive, Raleigh, N.C., 27603.
