(KAIR)--Horton’s lone nursing home will remain open.
That follows the installation of a new Board of Directors to provide oversight of the facility, which had been planned to close.
Mid America Hospitals has been retained by the new board to provide management.
That was confirmed by Horton Mayor Bryan Stirton Wednesday evening.
The City of Horton worked to see that the facility remain open after it was revealed in April that the Mission Village Living Center’s former Board of Directors planned to close the facility by June 8.
A dwindling population was among the reasons cited by the former board for the decision.
The nursing home currently has 21 residents.
Editor's note: This story has been updated to reflect that Mission Village Living Center currenly has 21 residents, not 23, as previously reported.
