AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT DEPENDABLE HOME HEALTHCARE

St. Paul, Minnesota-based Dependable Home Healthcare, a provider of at-home personal health care services that allows the elderly and those with disabilities to live outside institutional settings, has announced the closure of its operations.

The closure will impact 406 employees, including 38 administrators and 368 care providers, in six phases, beginning January 3, 2026, and concluding March 13, 2026.

CEO Katie Fleury noted, "Shuttering the company was a very difficult decision made necessary by increasing operational costs, difficulty recruiting and retaining staff in a highly competitive labor market, and recent legislative changes in the regulatory environment such as reductions in allowable service hours and lower rates for overnight care.”

Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life, nor promises of a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something terrible hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, at any time, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. While many employees can read the writing on the wall, why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else? Are you now wondering, Am I Next?

We will provide comprehensive severance packages, transition assistance, and dedicated support to help each affected team member navigate this transition with dignity and care. This strategic decision reflects our commitment to embracing innovation and ensuring Revere Health remains at the forefront of healthcare delivery.

AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT BANNER HEALTH

Phoenix, Arizona-based Banner Health, a non-profit health system operating 33 hospitals and several specialized facilities across 6 states, has announced that the emergency room at McKee Medical Center in Loveland, Colorado, has announced plans to close the emergency department at McKee Medical Center on November 5, 2025, due to a decline in patient volume over the past four years. The facility will be re-purposed into a specialty hospital focused on cancer care, under the new name "Banner North Colorado Medical Center – Loveland.

The repurposing will impact 351 employees, including 64 per diem staff members.

According to Alan Qualls, CEO of Banner’s Northern Colorado hospitals, “The transition of Banner McKee is driven by community demand. Our emergency room volumes at McKee have declined each of the last four years, and we’re only using 25% of our hospital beds. The vast majority – 88% – of all surgeries performed there today are outpatient procedures. We are responding to the community and making the best use of this facility by prioritizing convenient and accessible health care services.”
