Owners of St. Louis nursing home that closed abruptly face federal fine of more than $55,000

Federal regulators have issued a $55,000 fine after St. Louis’ largest nursing home closed without warning, although experts said the amount collected will likely be smaller. The U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced the fine in a letter to the owners of Northview Village, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. The 320-bed skilled nursing facility closed suddenly on Dec. 15 as the company that owned it struggled to meet payroll.
