By DICK COWEN Of The Morning Call The Lehigh County commissioners conducted a virtual love feast yesterday with the hierarchy of Cedarbrook and its Fountain Hill annex over their $35.5 million 1992 budget. At the outset of the budget hearing, Chairman John McHugh told the Cedarbrook administrators: "We're not here to challenge any of your line items.

They're conservative. Unlike other areas, you've gained a great deal of support." He said the commissioners were trying to move the institutions ahead to provide more services for those who are "clamoring" to get in. At the end of the two-hour session, McHugh had more accolades. He praised the non-political policy of the staff in handling admissions to these county homes for the elderly. He said the public is interested in them because they're not controversial.

And the 800 people they house "have done no crime in life" apparently an oblique reference to the criminals destined for the new $50 million Lehigh County Prison. The total county budget is $161 million. The $35.5 million for the Cedarbrooks involves only $5.6 million from the county treasury. Some highlights from Cedarbrook officials: There is some possibility of a "pooling" program involving certain revenues to nursing homes. It would mean $1.6 million next year for the Cedarbrooks.

A ruling is to come down Nov. 16 from state and federal officials on whether this program will be adopted. If not, then the county must come up with the $1.6 million itself. Further, even if pooling is approved for next year, the money probably won't arrive until 1993. Mildred W.

What recently was $30 for 1,000 hieh blood nressure nills is now $93. Nitro pads last year were $18. Now, they're $52.65. Mraz a iso reponea tne time on the waitiner list for admission is four months. In a summary of achievements and a look to the future, Mraz praised the Cedarbrooks as leaders in quality care.

He called for major improvements to the kitchen at Cedarbrook over the next five years. "We should develop an Alzheimer's unit at Cedarbrook. We have the semblance of a unit at Fountain Hill," he said. There are 120 residents at Cedarbrook in six-bed rooms. Those have to be changed into semi-private rooms.

The cost, however, would be astronomical, he said. He also cited what he called the problem of "agency nurses" nurses hired by the day from an outside agency. He said the institution would be better with all its nurses as regular staff people. Administrator Hilda Pope of thes Fountain Hill Annex said that of-k fice space is badly needed there. "From day one, we never had 3 enough space." Another item is that many staff people at Fountain Hill are at the top pay scale for their position.

She: said it's a factor repeatedly brought up at staff meetings. She said the Fountain Hill building is 20 years old, which means vigorous maintenance to keep it in good shape. and extra substitutes were to cover classes, Doluisio said.

The attorney general said the defendants failed to appear for a hearing before Judge Conway on Oct. 8.

He ordered them to pay $468,629 in restitution to eight consumers, $8,000 in civil penalties and $245 in court costs. Preate said the defendants closed their business last year and apparently left the state.

But there are ways to minimize the anxiety. Experts in gerontology suggest: Stay together as a family. Make decisions together, even if your family is separated geographically. When there is a positive family relationship, the loved one is better able to accept the change.

Seek out a support group. The nursing home director can put you in touch with groups that can help in a number of long-term conditions. Sharing your feelings with others in the same situation is wonderfully therapeutic. Try to maintain a sense of humor. Continue to laugh with your loved one.

Humor is the bond that humanity values most. Don't slip into being a martyr. Caretakers often find themselves "putting their all" into the task, leaving little energy for themselves or their family. That's not healthy and ultimately it is self-defeating. Indulge yourself once in a while, everyone will be better off for it.

NEW AFFORDABLE STAIR GLIDE Pocono prefab firm told to pay $475,000 HARRISBURG The operators of a defunct Pocono prefabricated home company accused of bilking consumers have been ordered to pay more than $475,000 in restitution and penalties, Attorney General Ernie Preate Jr. said yesterday.

Preate said an order signed by Wayne County President Judge Robert J. Conway resulted from a suit filed in March 1990 by Preate's office against Cedar Crest Enterprises Sterling, and its operators, Edward and Bonnie Sue Ros-kowinski. The suit charged that the defendants took substantial payments from consumers for homes the defendants constructed in a shoddy manner or never built. "The dream of a vacation hideaway in the Pocono Mountains turned into a nightmare for these consumers," Preate said.
