The Enterprise has confirmed that the owner of the Community Care Center of Clarendon nursing home closed the facility here yesterday, August 25.
The 60-bed facility was purchased by Royce Freeborn in 2006, and the home had 19 residents when it closed. Facility administrator Susan Hodges said 17 residents were relocated Tuesday and the final two residents are expected to be moved today.
“I’m just devastated along with the employees,” Hodges said. “These residents were like family members. It has been extremely difficult on everyone.”
Community Care Center employed about 40 full-time and four part-time employees, Hodges said
Hodges said the closure was the voluntary decision of Freeborn.
This makes me so sad. Im at a loss for words. Devasting blow for the county.
