Kindred Hospital Modesto (CA) will close its doors early in 2010 after efforts to sell the skilled-nursing facility were unsuccessful, its parent company announced. Kindred is eyeing a closure date at the end of January but first must have a closure plan approved by the state and make arrangements to transfer residents to appropriate healthcare facilities. The closure will result in job losses for 127 employees, including registered nurses, vocational nurses, nursing assistants and office personnel.
