ELMHURST, IL Elmhurst plans to revoke the permit for a nursing home to expand because the facility appears to have abandoned the project, a city official said in correspondence earlier this month.
In April 2018, the city issued the expansion permit to Elmhurst Extended Care Center, 200 E. Lake St., and has issued extensions since then. The latest one expired in November.
In an email in early March, Eileen Franz, the city planner and zoning administrator, wrote to the nursing home s administrator, Love Dave, asking for an update on the status of the project. A few days later, he told her he would report back the next week. He did not.
At Villa Maria Post Acute in Santa Maria, residents and staff are feeling a ray of hope after receiving their first vaccine doses Dec. 29 amid an outbreak that has infected 30 residents and 18 staff members, according to a facility administrator. Weâve been so fortunate not to have a major outbreak until now, and the light at the end of the tunnel is the vaccine, he said. Weâre hoping itâs effective as everyone says it is, and once everyone has their second vaccine, we hope it keeps everyone safe, Jared Cullifer said.Â
Residents at the Santa Maria facility were vaccinated through an on-site CVS Pharmacy clinic as distribution to high-risk groups picks up speed throughout the county and state.Â
