Woodland Nursing Home To Close After 17 Residents Die From Coronavirus
WOODLAND (CBS13) — The Woodland nursing home where a large coronavirus outbreak resulted in the deaths of more than a dozen residents will be closing by the end of September.
St. John's Village announced on Wednesday that they would be closing the Stollwood nursing facility.
Officials say it would be "extremely burdensome" financially, amid the coronavirus pandemic, to keep the facility open. Further, the company argues that labor shortages and increasing regulations have left the facility in a tenuous situation.
