You, or a loved one may need services now or at some future date at Richfield Care Center, but may be wondering if you can afford it. Medicare is limited to very specific medical needs and guidelines under the Federal program. You must be 65 or older usually,-anmust need registered nursing care, physical therapy, speech therapy, or occupational therapy on a daily basis with rehabilitation potential to get better and go home. Medicare is limiting to mainly stroke patients and bone injuries needing extensive reha- bilitation. Veterans Administration covers 6 months of needed nursing home care when coming out of the VA Hospital for veterans. Medicaid (State Social Service) is program that can help you if personal funds are pretty well expended and nursing home care is necessary. The office of the State Social Services can give you the particulars but basically one can have about $ 1 ,500 in savings, own their home and their own car. About 70 percent of our patients at the enter are financed through this program. Private pay through personal funds or insurance is another option. Most insurances today are supplemental to Medicare benefits and are of no value if you dont qualify for the Medicare treatment program. There is a new Nursing home plan being introduced in Utah that looks like a good one for the future. Many private pay convert to the NUMBER ONE: These girls from North Sevier Middle Schools Jr. Jazz Team fought their way to the number one State slot in recent competition.

Forest Service Regional Forester Stan Tixier notes the translant had been authorized under a 1987 agreement between the Frest Service, BLM, and DWR. Livestock people had felt that elk and livestock in the area would be in direct competition for the forage, resulting in negative impacts on the range and the industry, Tixier reported. Our evaluation indicates that potential conflict does exist, however the risk is minimal, he said. The Forest Service and B LM have set a benchmark herd level of 1 ,000 elk for the area. The figure is based on estimates of capacity and management experience with the neighboring LaSal elk herd. Once the herd reaches 400, the DWR will propose an approriate hunting season. We are confident that field monitoring of range conditions will allow us to determine if the 1 ,000 figure is appropriate, Tixier added. The benchmark will be lowered if negative impacts begin to appear, he stressed.
