(KNZA)--A Highland care home will permanently close its doors over the course of the next several months.

Staff and residents at Highland Healthcare and Rehabilitation were recently informed of the plan.

According to a press release, the decision to close the facility was made after careful consideration of the current operational environment and the multi-faceted challenges faced by skilled nursing communities nationwide due to COVID-19 and a difficult staffing environment.

The release says Highland Healthcare, in close coordination with state and local authorities, is implementing a comprehensive plan to ensure all residents will be safely transferred to an alternative facility of their choice after ample opportunities to discuss available options with local case workers and support staff.

In addition, the release says Highland Healthcare is evaluating all options with the goal of placing most of its staff members in open positions at nearby nursing affiliates.
