Financial hardships closure of Geary Nursing Home; residents relocated
Body
A combination of events led to the closing of the Geary Community Nursing Home, said the owner.
On Aug. 11, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services terminated the provider agreement for the nursing home. The owner of the home said she then voluntarily closed the center last week.
Residents of the home were transferred to other nursing care centers on Aug. 15.
The closing of the home came as the result of an investigation by the Oklahoma State Department of Health, which had made survey visits to the center in February and June.
