The state agency that grants licenses for nursing home facilities has 14 days to review Wareham Healthcare’s proposed closure plan and any public comment on the matter before deciding to approve or suggest changes to the plan, according to Department of Public Health officials.
Wareham Healthcare, a facility located at 50 Indian Neck Road and operated by Next Step Healthcare, began notifying residents of the facility’s impending closure on March 30. Wareham Healthcare’s residents will need to relocate before the facility’s proposed closure date of July 28, but the company has committed to providing assistance in finding alternative care. The company said employees were offered the chance to remain with the company and retain their seniority by transferring to other facilities Next Step Healthcare operates.
