Three County Democratic Candidates Favor Selling the Nursing Home


In the wake of the Special Meeting of the County Board on the Nursing Home, three Democratic candidates for County offices have come out in support of selling the home. From the News-Gazette website last night:
3 Dems seeking countywide offices voice support for sale of nursing home
Three Democratic candidates for countywide offices announced Thursday that they are throwing their support behind the sale of the Champaign County Nursing Home.

The county board has a proposal from Altitude Health Services and Extended Care Clinical LLC, both based in Evanston, to buy the financially challenged facility for $11 million, but most Democratic board members have voiced opposition to the sale.

Darlene Kloeppel, Laurel Prussing and George Danos said they want to keep the county's financial position from getting worse and prevent a possible "shuttering of the home..."

Their comments come in the wake of a presentation by executives from Altitude Health Services and Extended Care Clinical at a special county board meeting Wednesday night.
