The Ivy at Great Falls, the state’s largest nursing home that faces closure due to a long record of quality issues, is suing the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services.
The Ivy informed residents June 27 that its license was suspended and that it would be moving all residents by August. As of last week, some 65 residents had already been moved.
In addition, The Ivy’s lawsuit warns of “transfer trauma” among residents. The phrase refers to the potential harm caused by an abrupt change in living situations and regular caregivers for people needing regular health care observation. The lawsuit also provided statements from health care providers and one family member who are concerned about the impact on residents by the nursing home’s closure.
The attorney representing The Ivy didn’t respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson for DPHHS didn’t respond to a request for comment by Tuesday afternoon.
