Hospital District sells East Adams Care Center facility

A unanimous decision of the Adams County Public Hospital District No. 2 Board of Commissioners resulted in the sale of the previous East Adams Care Center.

The property, with the exception of three parcels, was sold to Gibraltar Senior Living, LLC. for $500,000.

The commissioners made the decision during a special meeting on July 3. Commissioner John Kragt was absent from the meeting.

Gibraltar Senior Living currently operates a facility in Tacoma, which focuses on assisting seniors who suffer from minor confusion related to dementia, schizophrenia and other mental illnesses.

According to the minutes from the special meeting, CEO/CFO Gary Bostrom stated there were two addendums to the contract.

The first amendment is the option to purchase the property back at $500,000 within 12 months should Gibraltar Senior Living decide to sell the facility.

Bostrom explained the second addendum clarifies the parcels that the Hospital District is maintaining. He stated this includes the maintenance building, module and disaster trailers that are currently located on the property.

Before the vote, Chairman Eric Walker clarified the contract included Kragt’s proviso and has also been approved by the District’s attorneys.

Ross Heimbigner made the motion to approve Resolution 18-09, regarding the sale of the EACC property, which was unanimously approved by the four board members present.
