Massachusetts: ‘Stressful and emotional’: Dennis 128-bed nursing home closes. Housing agency new owner.
South Dennis Healthcare has closed, according to Director of Social Services Mayla Secola.
On Thursday, staff cleaned and packed boxes at the 128-bed nursing home at 1 Love Lane, said Secola.
“We rehomed 82 residents in 32 days,” said Secola. “The most important part is getting patients situated in new homes. The next step is the actual closure, packing things, equipment has to go … we’re at the end now.”
