Marysville adult care facility will close July 1

SEATTLE — Washington’s biggest provider of adult day-health care services is closing two of its six facilities in the state.

ElderHealth Northwest says that because of state budget cuts, it will close facilities in Marysville and Seattle on July 1 and lay off 40 workers. ElderHealth says that means scores of medically fragile seniors and people with disabilities will be left without services.

Sara Myers, executive director of Washington Adult Day Services Association, says another six adult day-health centers in the state are slated to close in the coming months.

In Spokane, Providence Health Care says it’s closing one of its two day-health centers where low-income adults go for meals, exercise and care. Providence says it will offer services for those displaced by the closure at the remaining center.
