A Mt. Lebanon senior care provider with roots dating to 1910 is seeking state Department of Health approval to close 180 nursing and personal care home beds by the end of the year.
Staff, residents and families were told this week of plans to close Baptist Homes’ 126-bed skilled nursing unit and 54-bed personal care facility on Castle Shannon Road, displacing 93 residents. All but six to 10 of the facilities’ 135 employees are expected to find other jobs within the system.
