times, rehabilitation, or because of multiple readmissions for chronic medical conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and mental illness. How many of you work with your ADRC or your and Disability Resource Centers? I do know was a push, because one of our centers, the center that is located there in San Angelo, actually received ADRC funding. And so they were making a big push to have individuals go to the hospitals, and of course, you're giving your information and collaborating with the doctors and the physicians or whoever the administrators are in the hospitals, that when you get ready to discharge someone, to give the center a call. Because a lot of the times, if they have no family, if you have repeated admissions, that doctor is going to recommend that you go into a nursing home. And we do know that once they get ahold of you, they don't want to let you go, because you become what? A part of their census count. I think if you have the capacity to make sure that your local hospitals have your information so that they can call you. And so that we can put services in place. Rehabilitation centers. And this is something that Darrel was just hitting on. Individuals with acquired disabilities may be discharged into a nursing facility because of the individual's inability to perform activities of daily living or having an inaccessible home to go back to. This is all new to them. And so to be able to get into the rehabilitation centers is a plus. You're going to be dealing with parents that they don't know. This is something new to them, plus the individual doesn't know what to expect. I will tell you, I know when I was in rehab, I can remember this guy coming in, in a wheelchair. I can remember him having black boots on, and I can remember him saying, call me when you get out, for the most part. And he was telling me the center and everything.
