Daughter scrambles to find care for dad after closure announced
When her mother suffered a serious fall last year at her Weirton, W.Va., home and died 20 days later, Heather Amos-Yeo went through the many steps to arrange accommodations near her Middlesex Township home for her father, Bob Amos.
Amos, 80, was diagnosed with dementia almost 20 years ago, but got by at home with the help of his wife until her fatal fall.
When the closing on the family home in Weirton occurred in April, Amos-Yeo moved her father to Paramount Senior Living at Cranberry, a bucolic, welcoming care center in Seven Fields.
Then, last week, Bob Amos and all other residents and families at Paramount received a letter from James J. Cox, CEO at Paramount Health Resources, alerting them that they had 30 days to vacate the facility.
The letter stated that “physical limitations of the facility have made maintaining operations in the market unsustainable.”
