AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to increase Bayshore Manor's bed capacity from 16 to
20 beds.
ITEM BACKGROUND: Bayshore Manor is the only assisted living facility in Monroe County
for the elderly. There is a tremendous need to increase the license to this capacity. This increase
will have no budgetary impact. Current staff is able to handle the additional increase.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: Historically, the facility had a capacity of 40 beds, 2
residents per room, and due to the size of the rooms it was best to reduce to one resident per
room. Due to Social Security regulations it was decided several years ago to license the facility at
16 beds. Be advised this regulation is still a concern and it only affects those residents receiving
Supplemental Security Income (SSI). For the past several years, we had our congressional
representatives introduce a bill to exempt our facility from this regulation, but we have had no
success with our U.S. Senators introducing this same bill.
