THERE ARE A FEW TYPES OF PATIENT SERVICE FEES, WHICH ARE EXPLAINED BELOW. PATIENTS RECEIVE VARIOUS TYPES OF SERVICES, IN WHICH THE LARGEST REVENUE TYPES INCLUDE HOMECARE ROUTINE, NURSING HOME REIMBURSEMENT AND IN-PATIENT GENERAL. HOMECARE ROUTINE CONSISTS OF THE BASIC IN-HOME VISISTS TO THE PATIENTS OWN HOME AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK TO DO VARIOUS CARE-TAKING SERVICES (IE. BATHS, LAUNDRY, VISITING). THE NURSING HOME REIMBURSEMENT REVENUE IS FROM THE HOSPICE PATIENTS THAT ARE IN NURSING HOMES, IN WHICH THE NURSING HOMES BILL NIAGARA HOSPICE AND NH, IN TURN, BILLS THE INSURANCES FOR REIMBURSEMENT. INPATIENT GENERAL CONSISTS OF PATIENTS IN THE VARIOUS HOSPITALS, IN WHICH THE HOSPITALS BILL NH AND NH SEEKS REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE INSURANCES. THE CONTINUOUS CARE PROGRAM PROVIDES "EXTENDED CARE" VERSUS THE REGULAR HOME HEALTH AIDES. THIS EXTENDED CARE IS BILLED AT A HIGHER RATE DUE TO THE INCREASED AMOUNT OF TIME THE LPNS. THIS SERVICE REQUIRES AT LEAST 12 HOURS OF TIME WITH A REGISTERED NURSE. ALTHOUGH HOSPICE CARE WILL ALWAYS BE PRIMARILY PROVIDED IN A PATIENT'S OR CAREGIVER'S HOME, THERE ARE SOME INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT HAVE A HOME ENVIRONMENT APPROPRIATE FOR HOSPICE CARE, OR LACK THE FAMILY OR FRIENDS NECESSARY TO PROVIDE 24/7 CARE IN A HOME ENVIRONMENT. ADDITIONALLY, SOME HOSPICE PATIENTS NEED AROUND-THE-CLOCK MEDICAL ATTENTION DURING MEDICATION ADJUSTMENTS OR FOR SYMPTOM MANAGEMENT. IN RESPONSE TO THESE NEEDS, NIAGARA HOSPICE HOUSE WAS BUILT.NIAGARA HOSPICE HOUSE IS NIAGARA COUNTY'S ONLY RESIDENTIAL HOSPICE HOUSE, PROVIDING SERVICES TO PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES WHO ARE NOT ABLE TO RECEIVE HOME HOSPICE CARE. THE RESIDENTIAL WING CONSISTS OF EIGHT SUITES SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR LONGER STAYS WHEN THE HOME CAREGIVING STRUCTURE IS COMPROMISED. THE IN-PATIENT WING HAS TEN SUITES DESIGNED FOR PATIENTS NEEDING SHORT-TERM MEDICAL MONITORING AND SYMPTOM MANAGEMENT.EACH SUITE IS DESIGNED WITH PATIENT AND FAMILY IN MIND WITH A SITTING AREA AND EASY-CHAIR SLEEPER. EACH FAMILY ALSO HAS ACCESS TO GATHERING ROOMS, FIREPLACES, A CHAPEL, KITCHEN AND THE HOSPICE MEMORIAL GARDENS. 18116204 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 X 17 0 1 157 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 NY X CARLO FIGLIOMENI 7164394417 4675 SUNSET DRIVE LOCKPORT NY 14094 X JAMES BAKER SECRETARY 0.50 X 0 0 0 LINDA FLESSEL DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 MARY BRENNAN-TAYLOR DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 NICHOLAS GRANCHELLI DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 PATRICIA EVANS TREASURER 0.50 X X 0 0 0 PAUL NANULA DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 SHARON JEAN HEWNER PHD DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 JAY NEWMAN HOSPICE PHYSICIAN 1.00 37.50 X 0 306990 14221 RICHARD CASTALDO MEDICAL DIRECTOR 1.00 37.50 X 0 269515 31037 DANIELLE M BURNGASSER VICE PRESIDENT OF OPERATIONS 37.50 1.00 X 204959 0 27747 JANET LIGAMMARI DIRECTOR OF NURSING SERVICE 37.50 1.00 X 121790 0 12226 JUDITH BAILEY RN- NH CASE MANAGER 37.50 X 111059 0 18144 PATRICIA JERLA RN - CASE MANAGER 37.50 X 108713 0 11650 RYAN KENNEDY RN - OFFICE COORDINATOR 37.50 X 100760 0 11417 EDWARD O'BRIEN HOSPICE PHYSICIAN 30.00 1.00 X 0 226045 16623 DALE DIBBLE DIRECTOR OF PLANT/FACILITY OPERATIONS 1.00 37.50 X 0 137388 13045 KARRIE B GEBHARDT DIRECTOR OF ADVANCEMENT 1.00 37.50 X 0 126344 18824 647281 1066282 174934 5 0 1 0 NIAGARA HOSPICE ALLIANCE INC 4675 SUNSET DRIVE LOCKPORT NY 14094 CONTRACTED SERVICES 3365657 THE HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE CARE GROUP I 4675 SUNSET DRIVE LOCKPORT NY 14094 MANAGEMENT FEE 1299652 2 133987 612501 746488 HOME CARE/INPATIENT GENERAL 623990 11263883 11263883 NURSING HOME CARE 623990 5066741 5066741 HOSPICE HOUSE 623990 2974979 2974979 19305603 314642 314642 7066 -7066 -7066 -7066 200856 133987 162202 38654 38654 38150 17010 21140 21140 INSURACE CLAIM SETTLEMENT 900099 150000 150000 SURPLUS NOTE INTEREST INCOME 561000 143386 143386 COVID RELIEF FUNDS 561000 84801 84801 378187 20797648 19305603 0 745557 728466 728466 6352028 6067661 284367 284668 272074 12594 1459061 1391862 66883 316 551267 533516 17337 414 1299652 1299652 17639 17639 31255 31255 49796 29421 17000 3375 61013 44160 11292 5561 291385 256461 27940 6984 255185 205623 49234 328 538344 483869 47918 6557 81276 75284 3141 2851 NURSING HOME EXPENSE 4019778 4019778 PURCHASED SERVICES 3368570 3029650 36578 302342 MISC EXPENSES 619308 489645 103741 25922 FOOD AND KITCHEN SUPPLI 267350 267350 265197 221384 28848 14965 20541238 18116204 2055419 369615 629 381 4843380 5435242 2521204 2177317 1574538 1717923 365363 364471 12616932 6501102 6483947 6115830 1863016 1928552 27788 17652077 17767504 1829657 1830884 207485 124716 174991 32217 2212133 1987817 X 15387954 15728286 51990 51401 15439944 15779687 17652077 17767504 256410 83333 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 522562 615168 770274 1000002 746488 3654494 16333904 16747782 16722673 18057758 19305603 87167720 16856466 17362950 17492947 19057760 20052091 90822214 0 0 0 90822214 47173 91358 188880 290764 314642 932817 47173 91358 188880 290764 314642 932817 46245 46118 88766 103178 143385 427692 16949884 17500426 17770593 19451702 20510118 92182723 0.98520 0.98800 0.01010 0.00790 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 103671 10850 114521 92042 11629 103671 86251 5791 92042 93755 -7504 86251 80408 13347 93755 0 0 160248 160248 9544403 4113311 5431092 2912281 2387791 524490 6115830 DUE TO PHCN 63962 DUE TO GROUP 26816 DUE TO ALLIANCE 53451 DUE TO ORLEANS -112012 32217 X 20888636 83333 7655 90988 20797648 0 20797648 20548304 7066 7066 20541238 0 20541238 PART X, LINE 2: THE AGENCY IS AN ORGANIZATION EXEMPT FROM TAXATION UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.
