WILLING HELPERS HOME FOR WOMEN CLOSING

Board of Managers, President Deborah Buck has announced the board’s decision to close the Willing Helpers Home for Women adult care facility at 226 West Madison Ave, Johnstown, NY. Financial reasons were given for the closing.

The home has served the elderly women of the community since its opening in 1908. Buck stated that the home is working closely with the Department of Health (DOH) through the closure process. She emphasized that the priority has been and will remain on the care of our residents and the staff.

The DOH requires the leadership of the Willing Helpers home to submit a closure plan to the department to review for approval. The approval was granted as of Nov 14th. The expected closure date of the home is Feb 1, 2023. The home will continue operations as usual until the last resident is safely relocated in the most appropriate placement site.
