Officials said the closure was due to staffing shortages and increased costs, which weren’t sustainable given the rates paid by Medicaid.

Heather TerHark, vice president of ancillary services at long-term care chain Vivage, said all of Parkmoor’s residents were transferred to other homes in late July, and most employees already have found new jobs. Vivage manages 30 long-term care facilities in Colorado, in addition to Parkmoor.

Parkmoor had been cited for insufficient care during inspections in March and May, but follow-up visits showed the problems had been corrected. In the inspection documents, employees noted they were short-staffed and relying on temporary workers, who didn’t always know what residents needed.
