Contact Oak Hills Living Center residents and the families that depend on the skilled nursing home want to keep it solvent for the next few years Oak Hills and other rural nursing home facilities continue to struggle with staffing issues and delayed reimbursement from the state In addition to these ongoing problems a new state law is set to go into effect on Jan that would force additional unfunded mandates on Oak Hills and other senior living facilities In response members of the Oak Hills community have launched a petition drive that began Wednesday afternoon Several Oak Hills advocates were stationed at the front entrance of the living center with the petition signup sheet ready for any visitor to sign Advocates Nancy Beck and Norma Hanson were willing to offer drive-up service The two would greet vehicles driving up to Oak Hills with the petition for them to sign they had a dozen signatures in the first few minutes a member of the Oak Hills Operating Board of Directors said the goal of the petition is to get the state of Minnesota to fund two of the mandates or rescind them The mandate they want to be funded or rescinded is called the “Nursing Home Workforce Standard Holiday Pay Rule This new law would require time-and-half pay for all 11 state holidays for nursing home workers Any staff working on the 11 holidays would receive 150% pay The problem is long-term care providers cannot increase wages for caregivers unless the Minnesota legislature makes a Medicaid appropriation to cover this additional expense Rural nursing homes are already facing funding issues due to delayed reimbursements nursing homes are reimbursed for their Medicaid expenses after the state reviews the nursing homes’ annual cost report the review times for rural nursing homes like Oak Hills are far behind nursing homes in metro areas On average it takes the state Department of Human Services 18 to 24 months to review and reimburse rural nursing homes This means Oak Hills is reimbursed for two-year-old expenses The problem has become more severe with inflation The result is more rural state nursing homes are struggling and in some cases closing at a time when the need for long-term care is growing There is concern rural nursing homes could close forcing residents to relocate to a different facility outside of their home community Oak Hills resident Rose Iverson is one of the first to sign the petition being circulated by nursing home advocates Vogel said in the event Oak Hill were to close New Ulm Medical Center (NUMC) would also face a crisis when a senior citizen is discharged from NUMC there are local facilities to provide skilled care if there are no local beds are available because of shortages the senior will need to remain at the hospital “You cannot write a better formula for failure,” Vogel said Several residents and their family members spoke out about the need for the Oak Hills Paul Landsteiner is a disabled Vietnam veteran living at Oak Hills His wife Jeanette said it took months to get Paul back to New Ulm after his stroke but once he returned to his home community in New Ulm and was surrounded by family “The hometown connection is so important,” Jeanette Landsteiner said “We are thankful Oak Hills is able to meet his complex needs and the local staff is very respectful.” Paul Landsteiner said it is the people he values most at Oak Hills This includes the Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) who work with him but also the friends and family who can easily visit him at Oak Hills “No one realizes how important it is to have a skilled care facility near home until you need one,” Jeanette Landsteiner said “We’re so grateful to have Oak Hills.” Robert “Butch” Domeier has lived at Oak Hills for five months He said initially he was disappointed he needed the assisted living care “I am well taken care of and they make sure I exercise,” he said “The staff are very good at making you feel comfortable.” His wife Mary Ellen Domeier said after months of trying to address Roberts’s needs on her own it is a great piece of mind to know he is safe at Oak Hills Charles Braunreiter has lived at Oak Hills for two and half years and is one of the most outspoken supporters of the facility I cannot say enough about it,” he said the food is good and there is much entertainment going on.” He said one of the best parts of Oak Hills is he can play the concertina in his room and no one complains “It is the choice place to be in New Ulm,” he said Vogel said Oak Hills is one of the rare nonprofit senior living facilities that is also community owned The drive-up petition signing campaign will continue from 10 a.m the petition will still be available for signing at Oak Hill’s front desk Hanson

He was named La Salle's head coach last season Since the Ohio High School Athletic Association sanctioned boys volleyball for the 2023 season the number of programs in the state continues to grow Wyoming and Anderson have added programs in 2025 the yearly powerhouses like defending Division I champion St Xavier stick around in state title contention all season Programs like La Salle and Oak Hills are like most other programs managing some up seasons and some down seasons Meyer and Harvey are coaching through the swings now Oak Hills won just seven games combined in the previous two seasons "It's been a growing process trying to instill a new culture," Meyer said "We're basically building from the ground up A lot of our guys are in year three of four They've really bought in to the mentality of how we want this program to run and they've done a great job at building through open gyms and practices We're now at a point where we're playing really well." Oak Hills went 34-14 in Meyer's junior and senior seasons and Oak Hills had winning seasons until 2022 when the team went 3-16 his focus on keeping Oak Hills a consistent winner is to again reinforce the Oak Hills Youth Athletics as a feeder base and keeping each kid in the program playing as much as possible "I think playing as much volleyball year round is important," Meyer said "I don't think it necessarily has to be club volleyball but there are other avenues and I don't want to shy away from that If four guys want to go hit a volleyball around That's a big emphasis is just continue to play." Meyer says that he started with one player on his team that was involved with club volleyball a number that has grown to around 10 players Harvey says that his La Salle team has around a quarter of its players on club teams in the offseason After a 17-7 season last year that saw a regional semifinal appearance La Salle is 3-6 to start the 2025 campaign graduated a strong senior class from last season and has faced a tough schedule to open the new season "We knew coming into this year we lost a lot of our offensive power from last season but it was a great opportunity for guys to step up and that was the biggest thing we were looking for," Harvey said Three losses have come to the other GCL South programs as well as Lakota East who haven't won a conference game since 2011 will need to face each of their conference rivals again as well other quality foes in McNicholas and Walnut Hills among others La Salle doesn't have the direct feeder system like Oak Hills does with its Oak Hills Youth Athletics programs although some private grade schools close to La Salle may have youth volleyball teams and those players could appear for the Lancers Harvey says he tries to draw athletes from within the high school to build a team around more regular players "We have to work with what we've got," Harvey said That's one of the biggest things that we try to put our guys in positions to be successful." Harvey says that La Salle has provided all the resources he needs to keep the program winning consistently training programs and a second gym that allows for open play in the offseason All those are used to keep the players ready in the offseason while perhaps attracting some new faces to the program As boys volleyball gets more action in Greater Cincinnati as well as Northern Kentucky schools that have been added in the KHSAA's first year of sanctioning the sport Harvey and Meyer have seen the shifts happening and believe more competition in all levels can only benefit their programs "This sport is now more popular than I could have even imagined," Meyer said He continued: "Volleyball is becoming a little bit more mainstream now People are starting to become a little bit more interested at a younger age We can keep that progress growing right away."
