According to the formula, <br /> that would be 5 CACs for the first 3 buildings, and one CAC for each addition <br /> building (4) putting us at 9. When I arrived two years ago, it was in Charlotte's <br /> (previous ombudsman) notes that this committee has 12 spots. I am unsure if <br /> the committee asked the County for the additional positions, but according to <br /> state statue, we can ask for up to five. If we are going off the number 9 based <br /> on licensed beds in Orange County, the our committee would be considered <br /> full if the two new applicants proceed. However, after speaking with Max, we <br /> are okay with the additional positions because we can assign more people to a <br /> building and not just use the minimum, thus more residents receiving <br /> personal visits from CAC members. As far as the numbers, I feel that we are <br /> okay right now and do not see the vacancies as an issue because our teams are <br /> getting the visits done within the timeframe required. If you would like to <br /> meet with Max and myself, with the chair, to discuss the committee further, <br /> we would be more than happy to do so. Thanks again. <br />
