LaHarpe Davier Health Care Center has announced the facility will close.  

“The Pandemic  has posed unique challenges for everyone in healthcare unlike anything  in recent history. It has impacted almost every area of our lives and  yet Americans continue to move forward with hope and perseverance," the center said, Mississippi Valley Publishing reported. "Due  to the unprecedented health crisis caused by the Pandemic, LaHarpe  Davier Health Care Center and many other healthcare organizations have  been forced to employ strategies to mitigate many shortages including  potential staffing shortages. And although we at LaHarpe, have been able  to maintain appropriate staffing levels up to this point, we have found  it increasingly difficult to do so. We remain steadfastly committed to  our responsibility to keep residents safe, and thus without the ability  to guarantee sufficient future staffing at this location, we have made  the difficult decision to close the facility to protect the safety of  the most vulnerable population."

LaHarpe Davier Health Care Center thanked its loyal community and expressed its appreciation for the trust the community has given to it. 

"We want you to know that we remain unwavering in our  dedication and commitment to do all we can to ensure the safety of our  Residents and Employees and continue to embrace them all as a part of  the PHC family," the center said, Mississippi Valley Publishing reported. "To our dedicated and valued staff: We want you to  know that it is because you remain on the front line, helping us protect  this especially vulnerable population that we have been able to forge  ahead through this difficult time. We deeply appreciate your unwavering  dedication and commitment to keeping residents safe and for continuing  to compassionately care for them.”
