It was a matter of time before LR got evicted from another property. This time, it’s LR of Knoxville. I have been told LR is being evicted for not paying rent. Shocking, I know. LR was evicted from Las Vegas and Oklahoma City for not paying rent. They are currently under eviction from Battle Creek. The incoming treatment center doesn’t accept Ambetter insurance. LR now has 38 out of 48 patients on Ambetter insurance.
There are no open beds, but admissions still send female patients. One woman is sleeping on a cot. This is a commercial facility. I am being told that admissions reps are claiming that they don’t see gender when talking to patients. That’s nonsense. If the staff at the facilities are telling you to stop sending female patients, stop sending them. There are no open beds for women until February 27, 2024.
Making this an all-women’s facility might be good until LR is booted out. The men can’t behave around women staff.
These patients were not removed from the facility. One was allowed to complete the program and stay another two and a half weeks.
LR sent Sharon Putnam to deliver the news, but she could not answer questions. She had somebody on the phone as she gave the news. My source tells me she could not answer questions about the transition or when LR would stop admitting patients. While I want to commend LR for addressing the staff, how long has LR known? I ask this because LR is currently hiring a float nurse RN. The job was posted two days ago. I swear Landmark would set up a lemonade stand without knowing they don’t have any lemons. Even the Keystone Cops were more organized. Time will tell which facility is next to fall.
I went to post this, and this comment was waiting to be approved. Matty addressed staff and advised them that LR had lost Battle Creek, Seymour, Norfolk, and one of the Ohio facilities.
Will the employees keep their jobs with the new companies?
I don’t know. I am waiting to hear.
