Kaiser Permanente's California Nursing Home Closure and Layoffs
Kaiser Permanente's California Nursing Home Closure
Kaiser Permanente is set to permanently close the Post Acute Care Center in San Leandro by mid-November. This closure affects not only the residents who depend on these facilities but also leads to the unfortunate layoff of 249 staff members. The decision underscores the wider issues facing nursing homes and long-term care in California.
Impacts of the Closure
With the facility shutting down, many residents will have to find alternate accommodations, putting additional strain on other long-term care facilities in the area. This situation highlights the growing need for reforms in the nursing home sector.
Industry Response
- Advocates for better nursing home care emphasize the need for increased funding and support.
- Health organizations may need to step in to assess and address the fallout from such closures.
