An assisted living facility in Daviess County will be closing this year.
According to a news release from the Diocese of Owensboro, the Bishop Soenneker Home in Knottsville will be shutting down. The facility has around 50 residents.
Officials say they are working with Fern Terrace to find new homes for everyone involved.
“Our primary concern is a safe transition for every single resident,” said Bishop William F. Medley. “We are grateful for the opportunity to work with Fern Terrace to find suitable, local options for the residents at Bishop Soenneker Home.”
The diocese is hopeful that all 50 residents will be relocated by June 30th.
The Bishop Soenneker Home employs nearly 30 people and those workers will receive a severance package. The decision to close the facility was made after several months of study by a committee.
