patients than any o-ther one in the Valley.
The private,   nonprofit group had recently shown the Council that those in need of regular, medical, care and attention in a nursing home had to leave their families and go elsewhere. It was
emphasized that it would differ from a non-medical resthome, and that patients would be seen by a doctor eachday.
The motion , made by Pat Lefthand and seconded by Louie Adams, passed, 6 to 2. Bill Morigeau  & Tom Pablo opposed.
