So here's the story from the front page of this week's edition about the closing of Cole PLACE (not Cole MANOR):
UPMC Cole closing long-term unit
UPMC Cole has announced that its long-term care unit will be closing by early November. Officials there have arranged with another skilled nursing facility, Sweden Valley Manor (SVM), to accept its Cole Place residents if they and/or their families agree.
Dr. Dan Glunk, interim president of UPMC Cole, said he believes the move is in the best interest of the affected residents.
“The manor is known for its personalized, compassionate care,” Glunk said. “With its scenic setting and family-centered approach, residents will enjoy a more residential experience.”
He added that UPMC Cole staff will have the opportunity to join SVM, and that the move will not affect the personal care home, Cole Manor.
SVM is owned by Health Care Facilities Inc. of Lima, Ohio, with facilities in Potter, McKean, Erie and Westmoreland counties, as well as communities in Ohio.
