UPDATE: Broken Bow Care and Rehabilitation Not Closing, Future Uncertain for Other Locations

BROKEN BOW- Broken Bow Care and Rehabilitation Center is reassuring residents that "we are not closing," according to Jennifer Larson, Director of Nursing at the Broken Bow Care and Rehabilitation Center. In an interview with KCNI/KBBN, Larson noted there were miscommunications between a press release that was sent out earlier this week and what had actually occurred.
Klaasmeyer & Associates, who currently manage the Broken Bow Center, had arrived in Broken Bow to inform families and residents that the building would be closing due to lack of funds. While in the facility, word was brought to the attention of Klaasmeyer & Associates that additional funding had been received which would allow the Broken Bow Center to remain operational.
"The information that was given was correct at that moment, but things changed throughout the day," said Larson.
We reported on Wednesday that state-controlled facilities in Norfolk, Broken Bow and Schuyler were closing. We were operating on information in an email from the Nebraska Health Care Association. Multiple sources confirmed the closing plans of the Norfolk location.
We reached out to the Schuyler and Grand Island Park Place locations today. Management at each location told us they do not know if they are closing or not.
News Channel Nebraska has called both Ken and Linda Klaasmeyer of Klaasmeyer and Associates multiple times. They have not returned the calls.
Larson also said that the Broken Bow Center has plans for adding additional staff and residents once stable and solid ownership is found.
