Valles Attends convention Tammy Valles, Heritage House

Administrator, spent the week of Sept 22-26 in Houston attending continu- ing education seminars and an exhib- itors' trade show at the 1997 Texas Health Care Association (THCA) convention at the Adam's Mark Hotel.

The theme of the convendon, "Growth Through Caring", focused on the potential growth of this indus- try, both in the quality and types of care offered.

As the state's population ages, the need for nursing facility care will in- crease and the continuum of long-term health care services available to con- sumers will continue to expand.

The selection of education semi- nars reflected the convention's theme by providing participants numerous opportunities to learn about many as- pects of long-term care.

Ms. Valles took advantage of the variety by attending seminars involv- ing customer satisfaction in nursing facilities, managed care, howtocreate an ethics committee and the latest techniques in wound care.

Valles also provided a program at the convention. Alzheimer patients

By Linda Tillman, Activity Director who reside at the Heritage House were featured in a slide presentation, while she sang a song dedicated to them.

Administrator Valles remarked, "The THCA annual convention offers care provides-through numerous edu- cation opportunities -a chance to leam about advances in long-term health care techniques as well as changes in state and federal regulations. Equally important, however, is the opportu- nity the convention provides for inter- action with others in the industry."

Heritage House has served this area for over 20 years by offering a safe and caring environment for those needing nursing facility care.

In addition, Heritage House is a member of the THCA which repre- sents a broad spectrum of long-term care providers and professionals of- fering long-term, rehabilitative and specialized health care services.

Memberships consists of 1,300 members including more than 1,000 facilities caring for almost 100,000 long-term residents. Member facili- ties, owned by both for-profit and non- profit entities, include nursing facili- ties, specialized rehabilitation facili- ties, facilities for persons with mental retardation, and personal care homes.

stronger penalties. The employment of a full-time

animal control officer in next year's budget was also discussed. The possi- bility of moving the officer from pub- lic works to the police department was considered a possibility.

Police Chief Keith Webb pre- sented logistics for keeping it under public works versus his department

Council agreed that the magnitude of the dog problem warrants the posi- tion.

"With the number of dogs running around, the only way we're going to get a handle on it is a full-time per- son," said Councilman J.W. Shavers.

Webb will check with El Campo on its dog and cat ordinance and ani- mal control procedures, and report back to Council.
