TURLOCK — A Turlock nursing home that has a 145-bed capacity announced that it is shutting down due to operations costs that are just no longer financially sustainable.
Brandel Manor and Cypress Assisted Living will be no more. Its 85 remaining residents will have to figure out a different place to live.
“I don’t know where I’m going yet. I’d like to stay in this area, but I don’t know if that’s going to be available because there’s only so many beds,” 8-year resident Glenda Takhar said.
It’s a tough situation for Turlock seniors as facilities nearby are filling up fast and many people are on waiting lists.
“I was put on a one-year-long waiting list and that’s what I’m being told down the line – waiting lists. There’s nothing I can do,” said Gaylene Cornell, the daughter of a resident.
Cornell told CBS13 that she’s been constantly making phone calls trying to find a bed for her mother.
“I’ve been told Sacramento County, Bay Area, and because of my own health problems, I’m not going to be able to ever see my mom again if they send her that far away,” Cornell said.
