Trinity spokesman Jim Bowe said Trinity Continuing Care Services -- which has the same Roman Catholic, nonprofit parent company as Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center Inc. -- had hoped to close the center by the end of June to stem financial losses that he claimed have reached $75,000 a month.

Bowe said it's taking longer than expected to line up state funding for the continuing care of residents once they move into their new homes.
"It's not so much construction as getting people qualified," he said."They have to be assessed to make sure they're appropriate candidates.So it's not solely the construction."
Trinity is contributing $50,000 toward construction of each of the eight homes, for a total contribution of $400,000, Bowe said.
