1. Health.Impaired Elderly Update -
Pat McHale brought a printout on Schaumburg's Health
Department Nursing Activities. Between January thru
March, 1985, the following figures were given:
new patients - 118
counseling therapy
visits - 1,000
aid visits - 1;585
These are the most significant data given in the printout.
Schaumburg demographics are very -similar to Elk Grove
Village as well as other northwest suburban communities.
Health needs should be nearly identical. In Schaumburg these
needs were not visible until the services were available.
Nursing services are given only to those that cannot be
referred to other agencies. The age level is also increasing,
so need for services will also increase.
Pat McHale sent a questionnaire to Human. Services Agencies
that had Schaumburg as their service area. The focus of
this survey was to determine if these agencies felt
there was a need for nursing and related services in the
community. The Elk Grove Village Board of Health felt that
it would be helpful to develop a questionnaire, (something
like Schaumburgs) and distribute it to service providers
in the Elk Grove area. This would be helpful in our efforts
to determine if there is a need for such a service.
2. Day Care Ordinance -
JPZ will review this ordinance at their next meeting to
be -scheduled at the next Board of Trustees meeting.
3. Substance Abuse -

tentative meeting on October 23rd. They are trying to get

root" program on substance abuse.

The proposed ordinance will be discussed at the next JPZ

1. Housing Maintenance Code Revision
The Health Department was considering making a change in
the Housing Maintenance Code to cover low window sills
in apartment buildings. The-Board did not feel that this
.was a maintenance problem and should be placed under
consideration by the Building Department's building codes.
2. The Board of Health will review the following at the next
meeting:
- their charge as a Board
- their past and current activities
- the Health Department activities
- Schaumburg's planning workshop - to see if it would
be-beneficial to the Elk Grove Village Board of
Health.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:05 p.m'.
