Below is a letter to the editor from a citizen concerned about the nursing home closings. Her community has also endured the same fate from the same company. Please feel free to send letters to the editor to Kat Country Hub on this matter or any others concerning you. Just be sure to sign them as they won’t be published without a signature.
This is interesting that 60 days are required for closure.
I’m sure the Edgar facility did not have but 30 days and it does take Medicare and Medicaid payments because I had my mother in the facility from Aug 2014 to Oct. 2014. The employees found placement for 24 individuals in 30 days, worked extra shifts and were not paid. I know this to be true because
I can see the facility from my home. We have individuals that had to leave our community that had lived here 80-95 years and now are 30-100 miles away from Edgar. Some are in towns that they have no friend of family in the community. This is great that the other 2 homes are getting saved but what about Edgar and Exeter. They should be given the same consideration as they provided jobs in our communities and our life long residents deserved better than having their community dissolved.
The Edgar home opened in 1972 and now is sitting empty. Something is really wrong with this situation. Edgar closed May 1st. When did Deseret admit that they were insolvent? I would say they made that admission on April 30th when they told the Edgar employees not to cash their checks. This was 1 day before the last 2 residents left. Just a few things to ponder.

On Monday, May 4, Senator Brasch and Senator Al Davis (District 43) along with Governor Pete Ricketts, representatives of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the Department of Labor (DOL), and private representatives of the nursing home care community met to ensure proper oversight and due diligence are undertaken to protect the residents and employees of various nursing home facilities.
Deseret Health Group announced last week on April 25 it would close its facility, Logan Valley Manor, in Lyons. This announcement coincided with a notice to also close another facility, Ainsworth Care Center, in Ainsworth. Deseret Health Group has now withdrawn care of all four of its facilities in Nebraska.
Currently, DHHS is working to provide receivership status for the Lyons and Ainsworth facilities. Receivership provides the state the ability to work with a private entity to take custody, manage, and protect the people, property, and assets involved. Receivership provides a temporary, legal remedy while a more permanent, long-term solution is determined.
Initially, Deseret Health Group gave a 30-day notice to the Lyons and Ainsworth facilities. However, federal law requires a 60-day notice be given with regard to the closing of a nursing home facility that accepts Medicaid and/or Medicare payments. Deseret has complied with the 60-day notice, but could not be reached for comment.
DHHS, under the new leadership of Courtney Phillips, has been actively involved at both facilities in Lyons and Ainsworth. DHHS made on-site visits to ensure adequate care was being offered and continues to monitor each facility on a shift-by-shift basis.
DOL has been working diligently to try to ensure the payment of wages for employees. Employees of the nursing home facilities were scheduled to be paid on April 30. However, Deseret Health Group is yet to provide payment of wages as of May 6. The DOL also sent a Rapid Response Team to both the Lyons and Ainsworth location to speak with employees. The Rapid Response Team provides services regarding filing wage complaints, new employment opportunities, and the requirements for filing for unemployment benefits.
Senator Lydia Brasch, representative of District 16, voiced concern for the recent announcement stating: “I am truly concerned for the residents and employees of Logan Valley Manor as they undergo this difficult transition in light of Deseret Health Group’s recent and abrupt actions. Yet, I remain hopeful as I believe the residents, family of residents, employees, citizens, businesses, and government agencies will step up and provide needed care and support for those affected.” Senator Brasch additionally indicated her desire for local groups, charitable organizations, businesses, and church communities to step in where necessary and offered gratitude for all those who have already sacrificed to ensure the health and welfare of the residents and employees of Logan Valley Manor.
Any questions or concerns for DHHS may be addressed by contacting them at 402.471.3324 (between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.), 402.499.4417 (after hours, weekends, or holidays), or by e-mail to eve.lewis@nebraska.gov. To file a wage complaint with the DOL, call 402.471.2239.

Fact Sheet for Deseret Facility Closures
DHHS has been notified of the closings of both Ainsworth Care Center in Ainsworth and Logan Valley Manor in Lyons.
We are closely monitoring the situation at both facilities through email and telephone contacts as well as on-site visits by health care facility surveyors to assure:
Is a 30-day or 60-day notice required?
What if the facility doesn’t follow the requirements?
What is DHHS’ role?
Where can people go to find alternate placements for residents?

The Neihardt Foundation encourages travelers and historians alike to take note of the May “Sunday Afternoon at the Museum” program.
Author Stew Magnuson recently released The Last American Highway: A Journey Through Time Down U.S. Route 83: Nebraska Kansas Oklahoma, (Court Bridge Publishing) a travel-history book that uncovers stories along the road that bisects the United States from north to south, and will be at the John G. Neihardt State Historic Site in Bancroft on May 17 at 5:00 p.m. for a presentation and book signing.
Descending 1,885 miles down the center of the United States from Westhope, N.D. to Brownsville, Texas, U.S. 83 is one of the oldest and longest federal highways that has not been replaced by an Interstate. Magnuson takes readers through the Nebraska Sand Hills, the Smoky River Valley in Kansas and the singular Oklahoma Panhandle. Along the route are the stories of the famous, infamous, and the forgotten. Buffalo Bill Cody hunted these lands, but what about Buffalo Jones, who set out to save the American bison from extinction?
This is where the ruthless, but now largely forgotten bank robbers, the Fleagles, committed their most heinous crime; where the Grand Duke Alexis of Russia met George Armstrong Custer and Pussy Cat Nell dispatched the corrupt Sheriff “Bushy” Bush with a shotgun blast. U.S. 83 ties President Eisenhower, the architect Frank Lloyd Wright and author Truman Capote together. Magnuson recounts the story of the town of Audacious, the longest-lasting and largest African-American settlement in Nebraska, which lasted some 30 years in the depths of the Sand Hills north of Thedford, as well as the night in the 1990s when a clandestine truck carrying a nuclear weapon crashed along the side of U.S. 83.
The story becomes personal for Magnuson, as he returns to his father’s hometown in Stapleton, and tells the story of his grandmother’s struggles during the Great Depression and the secret she kept from her family for decades. “This is a book of true stories connected by a ribbon of concrete that cuts right down the middle of the nation,” Magnuson said. He is the author of The Death of Raymond Yellow Thunder: And Other True Stories from the Nebraska-Pine Ridge Border Towns, Nebraska Center of the Book’s 2009 nonfiction book of the year.
Magunson also penned Wounded Knee 1973: Still Bleeding, an account of the controversial 2012 Dakota Conference at Augustana College in Sioux Falls, S.D., where members of the American Indian Movement squared off against retired FBI agents. Magnuson writes the Highway 83 Chronicles blog and set up the U.S. Route 83 Travel page, which gives tips to those who are interested in taking a trip on the road. All “SAM” programs are free and open to the public. Reception to follow the program. The Neihardt State Historic Site is located at 306 W. Elm St., Bancroft, NE. For more information, call 1-888-777-4667 or contact us through email at Neihardt@gpcom.net. “Like” us on Facebook at John G Neihardt State Historic Site to stay informed about programming.
