Sudden Closure of St. Louis Nursing Home Raises Concerns and Displaces Residents

The sudden closure of Northview Village nursing home in St. Louis has displaced around 170 residents and left employees jobless. The privately owned facility, which housed aging adults, people with disabilities, and those seeking rehabilitative care, shut down without warning due to lack of funding. Concerns over care facilities and the challenges faced by families and frontline workers in the care system have been renewed. Many residents were transported to other facilities without their families' knowledge and without their belongings. The closure has prompted calls for accountability and highlights the need for a stronger home and community-based care infrastructure. A state investigation is ongoing, and support is being provided to the affected workers and residents.
