One person is still missing a week after residents were scattered when St. Louis’ largest nursing home suddenly closed
COLUMBIA, Mo. -- One person is still missing a week after the abrupt closure of St. Louis' largest nursing home left roughly 170 residents scattered at new facilities throughout the city, a state health department spokeswoman confirmed Friday.
Many patients left with nothing but the clothes they were wearing when Northview Village Nursing Home shuttered without warning last week, creating confusion and spurring outrage among residents and their families.
St. Louis police have been alerted about the final resident who remains unaccounted for, Health and Senior Services Department spokesperson Lisa Cox said in a Friday email.
Cox said Northview Village also has surrendered its license to operate, which will end the company's contracts with Medicare and Medicaid.
A person answering the phone said staff of Healthcare Accounting Services, which owns Northview Village and several other St. Louis residential homes, are gone for the holidays and declined to provide email addresses for company leaders.
