Coplin signs lease agreement on Wirt County nursing facility

Coplin Health Systems is excited to announce that it will be leasing its Wirt County nursing home to EWV Holdings, LLC. The new nursing home will be operated under the name Elizabeth Care Center and managed by Providence Health Management (PHM). The lease agreement was executed on February 6, 2020.

“We are excited about this partnership with Providence Health Management and look forward to the community having the nursing home that it has been patiently waiting to become a reality,” stated Rob Dudley, CEO of Coplin Health Systems. “This has been a long process with many obstacles along the way. We truly appreciate the support and patience this community has shown while we brought this project to fruition.”

Doug Cox, CEO of Providence Health Management, is very optimistic of the nursing home’s future. “We saw a very unique opportunity when we began looking at the new nursing home in Elizabeth – – the building is absolutely beautiful inside and out; and smaller, rural nursing homes are our specialty,” said Mr. Cox. “We believe this facility has great potential in this community and we are excited to be a part of that.”

Elizabeth Care Center will operate as a 36-bed facility with both private and semi-private room availability. “The community will see a lot of movement at Elizabeth Care Center over the next several weeks and months,” says Mr. Cox. “Once furnished, we will begin the process to gain Medicaid and Medicare licensure. If all goes well, we anticipate Elizabeth Care Center to be fully operational during the third quarter of 2020.”

“We are thankful that Providence Health took an interest in our project. In our research, Doug Cox and his team have a track record of transforming and evolving skilled nursing in smaller communities,” says Rob Dudley.

PHM is a dedicated senior care company committed to clinical excellence and compassionately serving its residents. “We believe that Elizabeth Care Center will provide care and services that will instill confidence in the community where their family members and loved ones are receiving excellent care,” said Mr. Cox. “At Providence Health Management, we value quality care, compassion and community and look forward to serving the people of Wirt County as well as the surrounding region.”

Elizabeth Care Center will be welcoming both new residents as well as new staff in the coming months. To assist in that process, PHM has created a website where prospective residents and staff can fill out an inquiry form or job application to send to PHM for future consideration. It is anticipated that the opening of Elizabeth Care Center will bring 60 + jobs to Wirt County.
