Cumberland County Bar Association 32 Bedford Street Carlisle, PA 17013 (717) 249-3166 IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA CHURCH OF GOD HOME, INC. Plaintiff, V. STEPHANIE KEIM, Defendant. No. 0 q, : CIVIL ACTION - EQUITY COMPLAINT AND NOW, COMES, Plaintiff Church of God Home, Inc. ("Plaintiff"), by and through its attorneys, SCHUTJER BOGAR LLC, and files the within Complaint against Defendant, Stephanie Keim ("Defendant"), and in support thereof, provides as follows: 1. Plaintiff is a foreign corporation licensed to do business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with its principal offices located at 801 North Hanover Street, Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013. 2. Defendant is an adult individual who currently resides at 117 Small Valley Road, Halifax, Pennsylvania 17032. 3. On or about May 10, 2009, Defendant applied for the admission of her mother, Elizabeth Weber, to Plaintiff's skilled nursing facility. At that time, Plaintiff and Defendant entered into a written Admission Agreement ("Agreement"), pursuant to which Plaintiff agreed to provide Defendant's mother with skilled nursing services in exchange for Defendant's promise to pay a specific monetary fee from her mother's assets, the assignment to Plaintiff of her mother's right to apply for and obtain Medical Assistance benefits in the event that she became insolvent, and, in furtherance of that assignment, agreed to "cooperate fully" in the process of qualifying her mother for Medical Assistance benefits. A true and correct copy of the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit "A." 4. After Defendant's mother became a resident of Plaintiff's skilled nursing facility, she apparently became insolvent. As a result, pursuant to the Agreement, Plaintiff notified Defendant that she needed to secure Medical Assistance benefits for Mrs. Weber, and an application for Medical Assistance benefits subsequently was filed on or about August 28, 2009. 5. The August 28, 2009 application for Medical Assistance benefits was denied because Defendant did not provide the information and documentation required by the Cumberland County Assistance Office ("CAO") to qualify her mother for benefits. See the attached PA-162, Exhibit "B." 6. Plaintiff has timely filed an appeal of this denial. However, if Defendant fails to provide the CAO with the information necessary to qualify her mother for Medical Assistance benefits, the appeal will fail, and Plaintiff will be precluded from receiving the Medical Assistance benefits that have been contractually assigned to it. 2 COUNTI BREACH OF CONTRACT/ SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE 7. The allegations contained in Paragraphs 1 through 6 are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth at length. 8. Defendant breached her Agreement with Plaintiff by failing to act in accordance with the terms of the same, as she has failed to provide necessary documentation required to process and approve her mother's application for Medical Assistance benefits. By doing so, Defendant has interfered with Plaintiff's right to receive the Medical Assistance benefits that have been contractually assigned to it. 9. Plaintiff is entitled to the aforementioned Medical Assistance benefits and cannot exercise its rights under the assignment clause to receive payment until Defendant's mother's application is approved. 10. Upon information and belief, at all times material hereto, Defendant's mother was financially unable to fully compensate Plaintiff for the services that it has rendered and continues to render to her in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement. 11. Defendant's breach of his Agreement with Plaintiff has irreparably harmed Plaintiff. 12. Only a decree of specific performance will adequately protect the interests of Plaintiff and provide it with the benefits and/or protections promised under the Agreement. 3 WHEREFORE, Plaintiff seeks a decree from this Honorable Court which orders specific performance of the Agreement between the parties.

Because of the number of documents that must be explained and signed upon admission, many facilities look at this as being "overwhelming". However, both State and Federal regulations require such forms for permanent records. As we welcome the new resident, a hand is extended in friendship... an arm is offered for support... a cheerful pat of encouragement is given... these are a few of the special touches that the Church of God Home has been offering since its doors first opened in 1948. For more then sixty years a Christian spirit has been the guiding philosophy of our Home. That's the reason our care goes far beyond just meeting the physical needs of our residents. We believe in the dignity and self-worth of each individual, and every aspect of our care reflects that belief. Our mission is to minister to the physical, spiritual, and emotional need of each resident in order to help him or her lead a more meaningful life. In sharing these values and standards of the Church of God Home, we hope that our experience will benefit others so that, together, we will continue to find better ways to serve the needs of elderly people in our society.

Within broad general Federal Regulations, each state decides eligibility, types and range of services, payment level of services, and administrative and operating procedures. Medicaid's major distinction from Medicare is a for inancia? de. Medicare is a type of healthcare insurance. When resident resources are reduce 0o $15,000.00, the facility Business Office should be notified immediately. The following instructions . I apply: 1. Resident/Responsible party will be responsible for a burial reserve set up at a bank or funeral home with amount equalizing enough for burial. The amount set aside should include amount of life insurance plus additional funds. A copy of that agreement should be submitted to the Business Office. 2.

After preliminary papers are sent to the assistance office, the resident's security deposit will be applied to room and board and any balance due billed to the responsible party. After being approved, Medicaid requires that the resident's monthly income be submitted to the facility each month. Of that amount, the resident will receive the approved 45.00 monthly allowance for his/her personal needs. The resident, responsible party or the facility may handle this personal money. 7. Allowable expense from resident monthly income is health insurance. After acceptance into the Medicaid program, billing for health insurance should be forwarded to the staff in our business office. The monthly expense for this insurance is deducted from the resident's monthly income and the balance is applied to the room and board. The stale pays the facility a per diem (daily) rate times the number of days in the month that a resident, approved for Medicaid, occupies an accommodation. After resident's responsibility is applied to this amount, the balance is billed to the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare (DPW) on a monthly basis. Bills for personal needs may be presented in the resident's name to the facility handling funds for reimbursement. Upon enrollment into the Medicaid program, the resident will no longer pay for routine hair care, incontinence supplies, non-emergent medical appointment transportation or personal laundry service. Medicaid will, however, pay for prescription drugs, doctor visits, dental services and eye examinations. 8.

Medicare hospital insurance helps pay for inpatient care in a Medicare-participating skilled nursing facility following a three (3) night hospital slay and your condition requires daily skilled nursing or rehabilitation services which, as a practical matter, can only be provided in a skilled nursing facility. A skilled nursing facility is a specially qualified facility, which has the staff and equipment to provide skilled nursing care or rehabilitation services and other related health services. Hospital insurance helps pay for care in a skilled nursing facility if all of the following five conditions are met: 1. You have been in a hospital at least three nights in a row, before your transfer to a participating skilled nursing facility. 2. You are transferred to the skilled nursing facility because you require care for a condition, which was treated in the hospital. 3. You are admitted to the facility within a short time, generally within 30 days after you leave the hospital. 4. A doctor certifies that you need, and you receive, skilled rehabilitation services on a daily basis, and The Medicare intermediary or the facility's Utilization Review Committee does not disapprove your stay. All conditions must be met. It is especially important to remember the requirement that you must need skilled nursing care or skilled rehabilitation services on a daily basis. Skilled nursing care means care that can only be performed by, or under the supervision of, licensed nursing personnel. Skilled rehabilitation services may include such services as physical, occupational, and speech therapies performed by, or under the supervision of, a professional therapist. The skilled nursing care and skilled rehabilitation services you receive must be based on a doctor's orders, Hospital insurance will not pay for your stay it you need skilled nursing or rehabilitation services only occasionally, such as once or twice a week, or if you do not need to be in a skilled nursing facility to get skilled services. When your stay in a skilled nursing facility is covered by Medicare, hospital insurance helps pay for up to 100 days each benefit period, but only if you need daily skilled nursing care or rehabilitation services for that long. 14 It you leave a skilled nursing facility and are readmitted within 30 days, you do not have to have a new 3- nigh( stay in the hospital for your care to be covered. If you have some of your 100 days left and you need skilled nursing or rehabilitation services on a daily basis for further treatment of a condition treated during your previous stay in the facility, Medicare will help pay. In each benefit period, hospital insurance (Medicare Part A) pays for all covered services for the first 20 days you are in a skilled nursing facility. For the 2151 through the 100th day, as long as you continue to meet the criteria for daily Skilled Nursing Care or Rehabilitation Services, hospital insurance pays for all covered services except for $133.50 a day. You may be charged up to this amount by the skilled nursing facility or it may be picked up by your secondary co-insurance. Effective May 30, 2008: Medicare requires that each resident 1 responsible party indicate their choice with regard to a bed hold if any nursing resident is hospitalized. Major services covered when you are in a skilled nursing facility Medicare hospital insurance (Medicare Part A) pays for these services: • A semi-private room, 2 beds in a room • All your meals, including special diets • Regular nursing services • Rehabilitation services, such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy • Drugs furnished by the facility during your stay • Blood transfusions furnished to you during your stay., • Medical supplies such as splints and casts • Use of appliances such as a wheelchair • Oxygen usage Some services not covered when you are in a skilled nursing facility Medicare hospital insurance (Medicare Part A) does not pay for these services: • Personal convenience items such as a telephone in your room • Private duty nurses • Any extra charges for a private room unless it is determined to be medically necessary • Transportation Name Labels • Hair Care • Personal laundry service NOTE: If you disagree with a decision on the amount Medicare will pay on a claim or whether Medicare covers services you receive, you always have the right to appeal the decision.

Transportation Enrollment with the local ambulance service is not required, but is recommended. Not all medical appointments require ambulance stretcher transport and are often handled by our wheelchair lift van. Physician ordered medical appointments are to be scheduled through our nursing department with local physicians, as the Church of God Home does not normally transport to out-of-town medical appointments. Family members will be contacted to determine their availability to provide transportation, or to serve as a companion to accompany residents during transport, throughout the appointment, and on the return trip. Medical consult sheets accompany residents to their appointments and often there is a need to adjust for a meal or medication routine. Families providing transport are requested to follow the sign out procedures and are asked not to schedule follow-up appointments unless they are intending to provide the transportation. In either event, please be sure to inform the nursing department of the scheduled follow-up appointment. NOTE: Transportation provided by the facility will be at an extra charge. Please see "Chart of Cost" for fee schedule. 17 UNDERSTANDING RESTRAINT USE In order to protect our residents from harm or to promote them to a higher level of independence, it is sometimes necessary for us to use a physical restraint. Physical restraints are any manual method, material or equipment attached or adjacent to the resident's body that the individual cannot remove easily and that restricts freedom of movement or normal access to the resident's body. Examples include: bedside rails, leg restraints, arm restraints, hand mitts, soft ties, wheelchair safety bars and geri chairs. These devices are NEVER used as a disciplinary action or for the convenience of the facility to control behavior. Restraints are initiated only after less restrictive measures, such as positioning pillow, pads, wedges, removable lap trays couples with appropriate exercises, or other "enabling" equipment, have been demonstrated to be insufficient. The least restrictive device would be then implemented following a specific doctor's order andlor a phone call to P.O.A./ next of kin. The resident will then be reviewed in the next Restraint Reduction meeting. The following is a comparison of potential BENEFITS and RISKS of restraint use: Potential Benefits • Prevention of falls which might result in injury • Protection from other accidents or injuries • Medical treatment allowed to proceed without resident interference • Protection of other residents/staff from physical harm • Increased feeling of safety and security Potential Risks • Accidental injury from the restraint • Chronic constipation Incontinence • Pressure sores • Loss of muscle tone • Loss of balance • Reduced appetite, dehydration • Loss of independent mobility • Increased agitation • Symptoms of depression, withdrawal • Contractures • Reduced social contact is CHURCH Of GOD HOME f "ununrrri At III Cal III Advance Directive Policy It is God alone who opens the door to earthly life. It is God alone who has the right to close it. All experiences of life provide opportunities for evangelism, ministry, reconciliation and re-assessment of priorities. The Church of God Home recognizes the right of an individual to make and change decisions concerning their medical care in consultation with their physician. This includes the right to accept or refuse artificial means of sustaining life when these decisions are set forth in properly executed Advance Directives/Healthcare Guidelines. In no instance will the Church of God Home condone homicide, euthanasia, suicide or aided suicide. In the absence of advance directive, the care of the resident will be in accordance with currently accepted medical standards. Regardless of the resident's decision about life sustaining treatment, supportive and compassionate care for maximum comfort will be provided. These measures include, but are not limited to, oxygen, medication to relieve pain, food and fluids as tolerated, along with emotional and spiritual support. Should the occasion arise when a resident would refuse nutrition or medical supportive services with the intention of prematurely bring their life to an end, the Home would encourage and recommend counseling and evaluation. The family would be informed and, if a satisfactory resolution cannot be achieved as to the care of the resident, the Home would assist the family in the attempt to relocate the resident to another facility as soon as possible. I acknowledge that I have received a duplicate copy of the above Advance Directive Policy and have had provided the opportunity to ask questions relating to the same. 1 have also been offered the opportunity to complete an Advance Directive. s-- /0 -- o q (Date) 19 (Resident/Res nsible Party) 42'..

It can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting a flu vaccination each year Every year in the Uniled States, an average • 5% to 20% of the population gets the flu; • more than 200.000 people are hospitalized from flu complications; and • about 36,000 people die from flu. Some people, such as older people, young children, and people with certain health conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease), are at high risk for serious flu complications. Symptoms of Flu Symptoms of flu include: • fever (usually high) - runny or stuffy nose • headache muscle aches • extreme tiredness Stomach symptoms, such as nausea, • dry cough vomiting, and diarrhea, also can occur but • sore throal are more common in children than adults Complications of Flu Complications of flu can include bacterial pneumonia, ear infections, sinus infections, dehydration, and worsening of chronic medical conditions, such as congestive heart lailtue, asthma, or diabetes. How Flu Spreads Flu viruses spread mainly Irom person to person through coughing or sneezing of people with influenza, Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. Most healthy adults may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 days after becoming sick. That means that you may be We to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick. Preventing Seasonal Flu: Get Vaccinated The single best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu vaccination each year. There are two types of vaccines: • The "flu shot" - an inactivated vaccine (containing kilted virus) that is given with a needle. The flu shot is approved for use in people 6 months of age and older, including healthy people and people with chronic medical conditions. Page 2 of 3 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERvtc Es CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PAEVENTION $AFER•HEALTHIER-PEOPLE' 39 Key Facts About Seasonal Influenza (Flu) • The nasal-spray flu vaccine -a vaccine made with live, weakened flu viruses that do net cause the flu (sometimes called LAIV [or 'Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine-). LAIV is approved for use in healthy' people 249 years of age who are not pregnant. About two weeks after vaccination, antibodies develop that protect against influenza virus infection Flu vaccines will not protect against flu-like illnesses caused by non-influenza viruses When to Get Vaccinated Yearly flu vaccination should begin in September or as soon as vaccine is available and continue throughout the influenza season, into December, January, and beyond This is because the timing and duration of influenza seasons vary. While influenza outbreaks can happen as early as October, most of the time influenza activity peaks in January or later. Who Should Get Vaccinated7 In general, anyone who wanls to reduce their chances of getting the flu can gel vaccinated However, certain people should gel vaccinated each year either because they are at high risk of having serious flu-related complications or because they live with or care for high risk persons. During flu seasons when vaccine supplies are limited or delayed, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACID) makes recommendations reoardinn Priority groups for vaccination. People who should get vaccinated each year are: 1. People at high risk for complications from the flu, including: • Children aged 6 months until their 51h birthday, • Pregnant women, • People 50 years of age and older, • People of any age with certain chronic medical conditions, and • People who live in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. 2. People who live with or care for those at high risk for complications from flu, including: • Household contacts of persons at high risk for complications from the flu (see above), • Household contacts and out of home caregivers of children less than 6 months of age (these children are too young to be vaccinated), and • Health care workers. 3. Children aged 6 months up to their 19th birthday 4. Anyone who wants to decrease their risk of influenza. Use of the Nasal Spray Flu Vaccine Vaccination with the nasal-spray flu vaccine is an option for healthy' people 249 years of age who are not pregnant, even healthy persons who live with or care for those in a high-risk group. The one exception is healthy persons who care for persons with severely weakened immune systems who require a protected environment; these healthy persons should get the inactivated vaccine.

About 1 out of every 20 people who get pneumococcal pneumonia dies from it, as do about 2 people out of 10 who get bacterernia and 3 people out of 10 who get meningitis. People with the special health problems mentioned above are even more likely to die from the dicase. Drugs such as penicillin were once effective in treating these infections; but the disease has become more resistant to these drugs, making treatment of pneumococcal infections more difficult. This makes prevention of the disease through vaccination even more important. (21 Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV) The pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV) protects against 23 types of pneumococcal bacteria. Most healthy adults who get the vaccine develop protection to most ar all of these types within 2 to 3 weeks of getting the shot. Very old people, children under 2 years of age, and people with some long-term illnesses might not respond as well or at all.

But these people should still be vaccinated, because they are more likely to get seriously ill from pncumococcai disease. • Pregnancy: The safety of PPV for pregnant women has not yet been studied. There is no evidence that the vaccine is harmful to either the mother or the hrus, but pregnant women should consult with their doctor before being vaccinated. Women who arc at high risk of pneumococcal disease should be vaccinated before becoming pregnant, if possible.

Plaintiff, V. No. cA - r1(o3(0 U1V,%1TeX-M STEPHANIE KEIM, Defendant. CIVIL ACTION - EQUITY PETITION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION AND NOW COMES Petitioner Church of God Home, Inc., ("Petitioner'), by and through its attorneys, SCHUTJER BOGAR LLC, and files the within Petition against Respondent, Stephanie Keim ("Respondent"), pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. § 1531, and, in support thereof, avers: 1. Petitioner filed a complaint against Respondent on or about November 3, 2009. See Complaint attached as Exhibit "A." 2. Respondent entered into an Admission Agreement ("Agreement") with Petitioner as a condition of the admission of her mother, Elizabeth Weber ("Mrs. Weber"), to Petitioner's skilled nursing facility. See Admission Agreement attached to Complaint as Exhibit "A." 3. In the Agreement, Petitioner was assigned Elizabeth Weber's rights to Medical Assistance benefits (hereinafter "the Assignment Clause"). See Complaint. 4. Accordingly, Petitioner now stands in the shoes of Elizabeth Weber and has assumed her rights with respect to her Medical Assistance benefits. See Horbal v. ORIGINAL Moxham Nat'l Bank, 697 A.2d 577 (Pa. 1997) ("[A]ssignee stands in the shoes of the assignor and assumes the rights of the assignor."). 5. Petitioner cannot exercise its rights to Mrs. Weber's Medical Assistance benefits until the Cumberland County Assistance Office ("CAO") processes and approves the application for Medical Assistance benefits, which cannot be done until Respondent provides the documentation the CAO requires. 6. Respondent's failure to provide the documentation that the CAO requires to process and approve her mother's application for Medical Assistance benefits breaches the Assignment Clause and interferes with Petitioner's rights to the Medical Assistance benefits. 7. An Administrative Law Hearing before the Department of Public Welfare's Bureau of Hearings and Appeals will soon be scheduled to address the appeal of the denial of Medical Assistance benefits to Respondent's mother. Failure by Respondent to comply with the terms of the Agreement and provide the verifications required by the CAO to render a decision on her mother's eligibility for Medical Assistance benefits before that hearing will result in the dismissal of the Appeal and the denial of Medical Assistance benefits. 8. The very nature of Respondent's breach presents an issue of immediate and irreparable harm to Petitioner, as Petitioner cannot realize the benefit of the bargain promised to it under the Assignment Clause - specifically, its right to Elizabeth Weber's Medical Assistance benefits, and by extension, its right to be compensated for the skilled nursing services it has provided and continues to provide to Respondent's 2 mother - until Respondent provides the CAO the documentation it needs to process and approve her mother's application. 9. The requested injunction would restore the parties to the status quo as it existed immediately prior to Respondent's breach of the Agreement. 10. Greater injury would result from the denial of the requested injunction than from the granting of the same. Absent the injunction, without the documentation necessary to secure Medical Assistance benefits, Petitioner's appeal of the denial of Elizabeth Weber's application for Medical Assistance benefits will fail, and Petitioner's ownership rights in those benefits and its ability to receive compensation for the skilled nursing services it has provided and continues to provide to Elizabeth Weber under the Agreement will be forever lost. 11. Petitioner's right to relief is clear. 12. Petitioner lacks an adequate remedy at law, as upon information and belief, at all times material hereto, Respondent and her mother have been financially unable to fully compensate Petitioner for the services that it has rendered and continues to render to Respondent's mother. 13.

Cumberland County Bar Association 32 Bedford Street Carlisle, PA 17013 (717) 249-3166 IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA CHURCH OF GOD HOME, INC. Plaintiff, V. No. STEPHANIE KEIM, Defendant. . CIVIL ACTION - EQUITY COMPLAINT AND NOW, COMES, Plaintiff Church of God Home, Inc. ("Plaintiff"), by and through its attorneys, SCHUTJER BOGAR LLC, and files the within Complaint against Defendant, Stephanie Keim ("Defendant"), and in support thereof, provides as follows: 1. Plaintiff is a foreign corporation licensed to do business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with its principal offices located at 801 North Hanover Street, Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013. 2. Defendant is an adult individual who currently resides at 117 Small Valley Road, Halifax, Pennsylvania 17032. 3. On or about May 10, 2009, Defendant applied for the admission of her mother, Elizabeth Weber, to Plaintiff's skilled nursing facility. At that time, Plaintiff and Defendant entered into a written Admission Agreement ("Agreement"), pursuant to which Plaintiff agreed to provide Defendant's mother with skilled nursing services in exchange for Defendant's promise to pay a specific monetary fee from her mother's assets, the assignment to Plaintiff of her mother's right to apply for and obtain Medical Assistance benefits in the event that she became insolvent, and, in furtherance of that assignment, agreed to "cooperate fully" in the process of qualifying her mother for Medical Assistance benefits. A true and correct copy of the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit "A." 4. After Defendant's mother became a resident of Plaintiff's skilled nursing facility, she apparently became insolvent. As a result, pursuant to the Agreement, Plaintiff notified Defendant that she needed to secure Medical Assistance benefits for Mrs. Weber, and an application for Medical Assistance benefits subsequently was filed on or about August 28, 2009. 5. The August 28, 2009 application for Medical Assistance benefits was denied because Defendant did not provide the information and documentation required by the Cumberland County Assistance Office ("CAO") to qualify her mother for benefits. See the attached PA-162, Exhibit "B." 6. Plaintiff has timely filed an appeal of this denial. However, if Defendant fails to provide the CAO with the information necessary to qualify her mother for Medical Assistance benefits, the appeal will fail, and Plaintiff will be precluded from receiving the Medical Assistance benefits that have been contractually assigned to it. 2 COUNTI BREACH OF CONTRACT/ SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE 7. The allegations contained in Paragraphs 1 through 6 are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth at length. 8. Defendant breached her Agreement with Plaintiff by failing to act in accordance with the terms of the same, as she has failed to provide necessary documentation required to process and approve her mother's application for Medical Assistance benefits. By doing so, Defendant has interfered with Plaintiff's right to receive the Medical Assistance benefits that have been contractually assigned to it. 9. Plaintiff is entitled to the aforementioned Medical Assistance benefits and cannot exercise its rights under the assignment clause to receive payment until Defendant's mother's application is approved. 10. Upon information and belief, at all times material hereto, Defendant's mother was financially unable to fully compensate Plaintiff for the services that it has rendered and continues to render to her in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement. 11. Defendant's breach of his Agreement with Plaintiff has irreparably harmed Plaintiff. 12. Only a decree of specific performance will adequately protect the interests of Plaintiff and provide it with the benefits and/or protections promised under the Agreement. 3 WHEREFORE, Plaintiff seeks a decree from this Honorable Court which orders specific performance of the Agreement between the parties.

We at the Church of God Home try to make the admission process as positive, pleasant and easy as possible. Because of the number of documents that must be explained and signed upon admission, many facilities look at this as being "overwhelming". However, both State and Federal regulations require such forms for permanent records. As we welcome the new resident, a hand is extended in friendship... an arm is offered for support-a cheerful pat of encouragement is given... these are a few of the special touches that the Church of God Home has been offering since its doors first opened in 1948. For more then sixty years a Christian spirit has been the guiding philosophy of our Home, That's the reason our care goes far beyond just meeting the physical needs of our residents. We believe in the dignity and self-worth of each individual, and every aspect of our care reflects that belief. Our mission is to minister to the physical, spiritual, and emotional need of each resident in order to help him or her lead a more meaningful life. In sharing these values and standards of the Church of God Home, we hope that our experience will benefit others so that, together, we will continue to find better ways to serve the needs of elderly people in our society.

MEDICAID (MEDICAL ASSISTANCE) Medicaid provides Medical Assistance to low-income persons aged 65 or over, blind, disabled, or members of families with dependent children. The Federal and State Governments jointly finance this program and it is administered by the state. Within broad general Federal Regulations, each state decides eligibility, types and range of services, payment level of services, and administrative and operating procedures. Medicaid's major distinction from Medicare is a for inanciaV de. Medicare is a type of healthcare insurance. When resident resources are reduce 0o $15,000.00, the facility Business Office should be notified immediately. The following instructions I apply: 1. Resident/Responsible party will be responsible for a burial reserve set up at a bank or funeral home with amount equalizing enough for burial. The amount set aside should include amount of life insurance plus additional funds. A copy of that agreement should be submitted to the Business Office. 2. When all assets are reduced to $2,000.00, call the Business Office for appointment for guidance in the enrollment process. It is the legal responsibility of the POA/Representative Payee to complete the application and enrollment process for Medical Assistance benefits. Every effort will be made by our Business Office staff to assist you. A checklist (pg12-13) is being provided to you with guidelines that will help you get started. Please be aware however, that if the POA/Representative Payee does not follow through in a timely manner, that the Church of God Home, Inc. reserves the right to file the application on the resident's behalf. 3. The Cumberland County Office of Aging will do a level of care assessment of the resident, known as an 'Options Assessment" and forward the results to the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare (DPW) for further follow-up by the Cumberland County Assistance Office. Should they assess for a different level of care other than nursing, and/or the resident does not qualify for 9 Medicaid, the facility reserves the right to terminate the admission agreement and will work with resident/responsible party regarding available options. 4. To appeal a decision regarding a Medicaid Assessment, contact: The Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare Cumberland County Assistance Office 33 Westminster Drive Post Office Box 599 Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013 P: (717) 697-8545, (717) 240-2700, and 800-269-0173 To appeal a decision regarding a level of care assessment, contact: 'The Cumberland County Office of Aging Long Term Care Program Human Service Building 16 West High Street Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013 (717) 240-6110 5. After preliminary papers are sent to the assistance office, the resident's security deposit will be applied to room and board and any balance due billed to the responsible party. 6. After being approved, Medicaid requires that the resident's monthly income be submitted to the facility each month. Of that amount, the resident will receive the approved $445_.00 monthly allowance for hisfher personal needs. The resident, responsible party or the facility may handle this personal money. 7. Allowable expense from resident monthly income is health insurance. After acceptance into the Medicaid program, billing for health insurance should be forwarded to the staff in our business office. The monthly expense for this insurance is deducted from the resident's monthly income and the balance is applied to the room and board. The state pays the facility a per diem (daily) rate times the number of days in the month that a resident, approved for Medicaid, occupies an accommodation. After resident's responsibility is applied to this amount, the balance is billed to the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare (DPW) on a monthly basis. Bills for personal needs may be presented in the resident's name to the facility handling funds for reimbursement. Upon enrollment into the Medicaid program, the resident will no longer pay for routine hair care, incontinence supplies, non-emergent medical appointment transportation or personal laundry service. Medicaid will, however, pay for prescription drugs, doctor visits, dental services and eye examinations. 8. Upon transfer or discharge for hospitalization of a resident receiving medical assistance benefits, the facility will hold a bed. !0 42 CHURCH OF GOD HOME (miIIIIIIII-11 III ('111,111V Medicaid (Medical Assistance) Residents 1.

Medicare hospital insurance helps pay for inpatient care in a Medicare-participating skilled nursing facility following a three (3) night hospital stay and your condition requires daily skilled nursing or rehabilitation services which, as a practical matter, can only be provided in a skilled nursing facility. A skilled nursing facility is a specially qualified facility, which has the staff and equipment to provide skilled nursing care or rehabilitation services and other related health services. Hospital insurance helps pay for care in a skilled nursing facility if all of the following five conditions are met., 1. You have been in a hospital at least three nights in a row, before your transfer to a participating skilled nursing facility. 2. You are transferred to the skilled nursing facility because you require care for a condition, which was treated in the hospital. 3. You are admitted to the facility within a short time, generally within 30 days after you leave the hospital. 4. A doctor certifies that you need, and you receive, skilled rehabilitation services on a daily basis, and 5. The Medicare intermediary or the facility's Utilization Review Committee does not disapprove your stay. All conditions must be met. It is especially important to remember the requirement that you must need skilled nursing care or skilled rehabilitation services on a daily basis. Skilled nursing care means care that can only be performed by, or under the supervision of, licensed nursing personnel. Skilled rehabilitation services may include such services as physical, occupational, and speech therapies performed by, or under the supervision of, a professional therapist. The skilled nursing care and skilled rehabilitation services you receive must be based on a doctor's orders. Hospital insurance will not pay for your stay if you need skilled nursing or rehabilitation services only occasionally, such as once or twice a week, or if you do not need to be in a skilled nursing facility to get skilled services. When your stay in a skilled nursing facility is covered by Medicare, hospital insurance helps pay for up to 100 days each benefit period, but only if you need daily skilled nursing care or rehabilitation services for that long. 14 If you leave a skilled nursing facility and are readmitted within 30 days, you do not have to have a new 3- night stay in the hospital for your care to be covered. if you have some of your 100 days left and you need skilled nursing or rehabilitation services on a daily basis for further treatment of a condition treated during your previous stay in the facility, Medicare will help pay. In each benefit period, hospital insurance (Medicate Part A) pays for all covered services for the first 20 days you are in a skilled nursing facility. For the 2151 through the 10011, day, as long as you continue to meet the criteria for daily Skilled Nursing Care or Rehabilitation Services, hospital insurance pays for all covered services except for $133.50 a day. You may be charged up to this amount by the skilled nursing facility or it may be picked up by your secondary co-insurance. Effective May 30, 2008: Medicare requires that each resident I responsible party indicate their choice with regard to a bed hold if any nursing resident is hospitalized. Major services covered when you are in a skilled nursing facility Medicare hospital insurance (Medicare Part A) pays for these services: • A semi-private room, 2 beds in a room • All your meals, including special diets • Regular nursing services • Rehabilitation services, such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy • Drugs furnished by the facility during your stay • Blood transfusions fumished to you during your stay., • Medical supplies such as splints and casts • Use of appliances such as a wheelchair • Oxygen usage Some services not covered when you are in a skilled nursing facility Medicare hospital insurance (Medicare Part A) does not pay for these services: • Personal convenience items such as a telephone in your room • Private duty nurses • Any extra charges for a private room unless it is determined to be medically necessary • Transportation • Name Labels • Hair Care • Personal laundry service NOTE: If you disagree with a decision on the amount Medicare will pay on a claim or whether Medicare covers services you receive, you always have the right to appeal the decision, Feel free to contact Medicare at 1-800-6334227. The Church of God Home reserves the right to withdraw from the Medicare program. 15 MOBILE X-RAY IMAGING, INC. Mobile X-Ray Imaging, Inc.

Specialized Services If you have mental retardation, a physical disability, or other disability which occurred before the age of twenty-two (22), you may be eligible to receive support services that would help you to live with your family, in your own apartment, or in another community setting. You may also be eligible for specialized services. For more information, if you have mental retardation call Central Regional Office of Developmental Programs at (717) 772-6507. It you have another disability (other than mental retardation or mental illness) call United Disabilities Service at (717) 397-1841. If you have mental illness (other than dementia) and you do NOT need nursing facility services, you may be eligible to receive support services that would help you live in your own apartment, in a group home, or another community setting. For more information, call (717) 772-7490. If you are not satisfied with the response you receive, call the Disabilities Rights Network of PA at (215) 238-8070. Transportation Enrollment with the local ambulance service is not required, but is recommended. Not all medical appointments require ambulance stretcher transport and are often handled by our wheelchair lift van. Physician ordered medical appointments are to be scheduled through our nursing department with local physicians, as the Church of God Home does not normally transport to out-of-town medical appointments. Family members will be contacted to determine their availability to provide transportation, or to serve as a companion to accompany residents during transport, throughout the appointment, and on the return trip. Medical consult sheets accompany residents to their appointments and often there is a need to adjust for a meat or medication routine. Families providing transport are requested to follow the sign out procedures and are asked not to schedule follow-up appointments unless they are intending to provide the transportation. In either event, please be sure to inform the nursing department of the scheduled follow-up appointment. NOTE; Transportation provided by the facility will be at an extra charge. Please see "Chart of Cost" for fee schedule. 17 UNDERSTANDING RESTRAINT USE In order to protect our residents from harm or to promote them to a higher level of independence, it is sometimes necessary for us to use a physical restraint. Physical restraints are any manual method, material or equipment attached or adjacent to the resident's body that the individual cannot remove easily and that restricts freedom of movement or normal access to the resident's body. Examples include: bedside rails, leg restraints, arm restraints, hand mitts, soft ties, wheelchair safety bars and geri chairs. These devices are NEVER used as a disciplinary action or for the convenience of the facility to control behavior. Restraints are initiated only after less restrictive measures, such as positioning pillow, pads, wedges, removable lap trays couples with appropriate exercises, or other "enabling" equipment, have been demonstrated to be insufficient. The least restrictive device would be then implemented following a specific doctor's order and/or a phone call to P.O.A.I next of kin. The resident will then be reviewed in the next Restraint Reduction meeting. The following is a comparison of potential BENEFITS and RISKS of restraint use: Potential Benefits - Prevention of falls which might result in injury • Protection from other accidents or injuries • Medical treatment allowed to proceed without resident interference • Protection of other residents/staff from physical harm • Increased feeling of safety and security Potential Risks • Accidental injury from the restraint • Chronic constipation • Incontinence • Pressure sores • Loss of muscle tone Loss of balance • Reduced appetite, dehydration • Loss of independent mobility • Increased agitation • Symptoms of depression, withdrawal Contractures • Reduced social contact 18 CHURCH OF GOD HOME ?'???nnuur,l nr C'+u ur:? Advance Directive Policy It is God alone who opens the door to earthly life. It is God alone who has the right to close it, All experiences of life provide opportunities for evangelism, ministry, reconciliation and re-assessment of priorities. The Church of God Home recognizes the right of an individual to make and change decisions concerning their medical care in consultation with their physician. This includes the right to accept or refuse artificial means of sustaining life when these decisions are set forth in properly executed Advance Directives/Healthcare Guidelines. In no instance will the Church of God Home condone homicide, euthanasia, suicide or aided suicide. In the absence of advance directive, the care of the resident will be in accordance with currently accepted medical standards. Regardless of the resident's decision about fife sustaining treatment, supportive and compassionate care for maximum comfort will be provided. These measures include, but are not limited to, oxygen, medication to relieve pain, food and fluids as tolerated, along with emotional and spiritual support. Should the occasion arise when a resident would refuse nutrition or medical supportive services with the intention of prematurely bring their life to an end, the Home would encourage and recommend counseling and evaluation. The family would be informed and, if a satisfactory resolution cannot be achieved as to the care of the resident, the Home would assist the family in the attempt to relocate the resident to another facility as soon as possible. I acknowledge that I have received a duplicate copy of the above Advance Directive Policy and have had provided the opportunity to ask questions relating to the same. I have also been offered the opportunity to complete an Advance Directive. (Date) 19 (ResidenURes nsible Party) 428-.. CHURCH OF GOD HOME t ,+i1,,,1ilt1 flit, (lip ili,.

Purpose: To ensure that the resident receives the most suitable protection possible. Procedure: 1. The one private nursing room in this facility may be used as a regular private/single room until the facility's need for an isolation room arises. This room is identified as Room 118 Faith Wing. 2. Any resident using room 118 must agree on admission that they will move out of the room to a semi-private room if the facility needs to use it. 3. When a need for an isolation room arises and a semi-private room is not available at Church of God Home, the resident occupying the private room will be transferred as soon as possible temporarily to another long-term care facility until a semi-private room becomes available at the Church of God Home. This individual will then be returned to the private room when it again becomes available. 4. Individuals interested in occupying a private room should make their interest known on admission to the Director of Admissions or their Social Worker at anytime. 5. The Director of Admissions will maintain a list of those residents interested in the private room. Such resident will be offered the private room, when available, based on their initial admission date to the Church of God Home, regardless of their level of care or the date they placed their name on the waiting list. 6. When not in an isolation need situation, a resident in the private room must be of private pay status. If no longer able to cover the monthly bill, such resident will be asked to relocate into a semi-private room as soon as an appropriate one becomes available at the Church of God Home. , 119 -Q _q (Date) (ResidentlResponsible Party) 37 42 CHURCH OF GOD HOME "(111runilivel fit cant., Therapy Church of God Home has arranged for Genesis Rehabilitation Services, a professional, full-service therapy company, to provide physical, occupational, and speech therapy services.

II can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting a flu vaccination each year Every year in the United States, on average: • 5% to 20% of the population gets the flu: • more than 200.000 people are hospitalized from flu complications; and • about 36,000 people die from flu. Some people, such as alder people, young children, and people with certain health conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease), are at high risk for serious flu complications. Symptoms of Flu Symptoms of flu include: • fever (usually high) headache • extreme Redness dry cough sore throat runny or stuffy nose • muscle aches • Stomach symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarr hea, also can occur but are more common in children than adults Complications of Flu Complications of flu can include bacterial pneumonia, ear infections, sinus infections, dehydration, and worsening of chronic medical conditions, such as congestive heart failure, asthma, or diabetes. How Flu Spreads Flu viruses spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing of people with influenza. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. INosl healthy adults may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 days after becoming sick. That means that you may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick. Preventing Seasonal Flu, Get Vaccinated The single best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu vaccination each year. There are two types of vaccines; • The "flu shot" -an inactivated vaccine (containing killed virus) that is given with a needle. The flu shot is approved for use in people & months of age and older, including healthy people and people with chronic medical conditions. Page 1 of 3 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION SAFER- HEALTHIER- PEOPLE' 39 Key Facts About Seasonal Influenza (Flu) • The nasal-spray flu vaccine- a vaccine made with live, weakened flu viruses Ihat do not cause the flu (sometimes called LAIV for "Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine"). LAiV Is approved for use in healthy' people 249 years of age who are not pregnant. About two weeks after vaccination, antibodies develop that protect against influenza virus infection Flu vaccines will not protect against flu-like illnesses caused by non-influenza viruses When to Get Vaccinated Yearly flu vaccination should begin in September or as soon as vaccine is available and continue throughout the influenza season, into December, January, and beyond This is because the timing and dutafion of influenza seasons vary. While influenza outbreaks can happen as early as October, most of the time influenza activity peaks in January or later. Who Should Get Vaccinated? In general, anyone who wants to reduce their chances of getting the flu can gel vaccinated However, certain people should get vaccinated each year either because they are al high risk of having serious flu related complications or because they live with or care for high risk persons. During flu seasons when vaccine supplies are limited or delayed, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) makes recommendations regarding priority groups lot vaccination. People who should get vaccinated each year are: 1. People at high risk for complications from the flu, including: • Children aged 6 months until their 51h birthday. • Pregnant women, • People 50 years of age and older, People of any age with certain chronic medical conditions, and • People who live in nursing homes and other long-term care faciilies. 2. People who live with or care for those at high risk for complications from flu, including: • Household contacts of persons at high risk for complications from the flu (see above(, • Household contacts and out of home caregivers of children less than 6 months of age (these children are too young to be vaccinated), and • Health care workers. 3. Children aged 6 months up to their 191i birthday 4. Anyone who wants to decrease their risk of Influenza. Use of the Nasal Spray Flu Vaccine Vaccination with the nasal-spray flu vaccine is an option for healthy' people 249 years of age who are not pregnant, even healthy persons who live with or care for those in a high-risk group. The one exception is healthy persons who care for persons with severely weakened immune systems who require a protected environment; these healthy persons should get the inactivated vaccine. Page 2 of 3 DEPARTMENT of HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION SAFER • H EALTHtER • PEOPLE' 40 Who Should Not Be Vaccinated Some people should not be vaccinated without first consulting a physician. They include People who have a severe allergy to chicken eggs. • People who have had a severe reaction to an influenza vaccination in the past. • People who developed Guillain-Barre syndrome t BSl within 6 weeks of getting an influenza vaccine previously. • Children less than 6 months of age (influenza vaccine is not approved for use in this age group).

About 1 out of every 20 people who get pneumococcal pneumonia dies from it, as do about 2 people out of 10 who get bacteremia and 3 people out of 10 who get meningitis. People with the special health problems mentioned above arc even more likely to die from the dicase. Drugs such as penicillin were once effective in treating these infections; but the disease has become more resistant to these drugs, making treatment of pneumococcal infections more difficult. This snakes prevention of the disease through vaccination even more important. 2 Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV) The pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV) protects against 23 types of pneumococcal bacteria. Most healthy adults who get the vaccine develop protection to most or all of these types within 2 to 3 weeks of getting the shot. Very old people, children under 2 years of age, and people with some long-term illnesses might not respond as well or at all.

Those older than 10 should get it 5 years after the first dose. Other facts about getting the vaccine • Otherwise healthy children who often get ear infections, sinus infections, or other upper respiratory diseases do not need to get PPV because of these conditions. • PPV may be less effective in some people, especially those with lower resistance to infection.
