St. Louis nursing home closes without warning, surprising 170 residents and their families
Fox News
The sudden closure of a Missouri nursing home on Dec. 15 left 170 residents displaced and the employees without paychecks. Experts weighed in on the potential impact.
On Dec. 19, family members, care staff, and state and local politicians staged a protest of the nursing home’s closure and its apparent failure to pay employees, as reported by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "For those with dementia, the familiarity of their living environment and predictable routines can serve to help with their overall functioning." Melissa Rudy is health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
Michele Waller, a receptionist at Northview prior to the closure, told a local news outlet that the owner of the nursing home had known about the closure but failed to disclose the information.
