CEO Michael Miller said financial issues led to the decision. He told the Wichita Eagle “with our large bond debt we’re not able to be a sustainable company.”

The campus underwent a $22 million update in 2015, constructing individual households for long-term care residents and rapid-recovery suites.

The pandemic ultimately caused the long-term care division to be closed in September 2021, displacing 53 residents. Since then, KMH focused on independent and senior living.
