Lending Hands Adult Day Center announced Friday that they will be closing its doors.
Washington County’s sole adult day provider will be closing effective July 30th at the latest, according to Halcyon House officials. Halcyon House’s home healthcare offerings, operated out of the Lending Hands location, will continue to operate without changes. Halcyon House Executive Director Chris Marshall says, “The decision to close Lending Hands was a difficult one; when we were able to reopen last year following the state-mandated closure due to COVID, we worked for several months to increase revenue and decrease expenses with the intent of staying open.” She adds that they sought a partnership as well, but that unfortunately did not come to fruition.
Celebration of life services for 83-year-old Lois Bremer Buchholz of Washington will be held at a later date. Memorials have been established for Lending Hands, Brownlee Health Center of the United Presbyterian Home, Immanuel Lutheran Church, or Hospice of Washington County. The Jones & Eden Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.
