LaSalle County Nursing Home / Public vs. Private ownership

I have recieved a request from a member of the LaSalle County Board to provide an opportunity for feed-back from the public concerning the possibility of LaSalle County discontinuing its operation/ownership of the Nursing Home. There has been discussion of selling the facility to a private entity who would continue to operate the facility for profit. I believe there is also the possibility of a Public/Private partnership which could signifgicantly reduce the cost of operating the facility for the county. These partnerships are becoming more common between government and private business entities. If anyone can provide the financial condition of the county home, please share that information. In any event please be aware of this issue and share your thoughts with us. Thank You.
