Rock Rapids, Iowa — The details are quite limited at this time, but a Rock Rapids nursing home has closed, forcing residents and their families to find other facilities for them.
KIWA has received word that Rock Rapids Health Centre’s residents needed to be placed in other facilities.
We have not yet heard from a reliable source as to the reason for the Health Centre’s closure. At this point, all of that type of information is hearsay.
At one point, the facility was owned by Rock Rapids native Dan Boyle and his Dakota Dunes-based Boyle Companies. But Boyle Companies officials say they sold the facility and their Rock Rapids assisted living facility, Premier Estates, in 2012. The future of Premier Estates is not known. Their staff has not been informed of any changes.
