In Rural Minnesota, $336,000 in American Rescue Plan money will go to improve two senior living facilities and expand critical care in rural Minnesota for elderly residents.
Heartland Senior Living (DBA Parkview Care Center) in Wells, Minnesota and Kenyon Sunset Home in Kenyon will receive the investments.
“Having affordable, accessible health care infrastructure in rural areas is critical to the health and well-being of more than one million people living in small towns across Minnesota,” Colleen Landkamer, USDA Rural Development State Director for Minnesota, said to ABC 6 News. “We’re thrilled to be helping these facilities ensure that they continue to address the needs of our elderly populations in the wake of the COVID – 19 pandemic.”
