Dayton Senior Care LLC, which does business under the name Friendship Village, is part of a chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in Tennessee along with six other entities owned by the same company, but the Ombudsman Office does not anticipate the facility will close, the Dayton Daily News reported. Friendship Village filed for bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Tennessee in Nashville. Among the top creditors listed is the Montgomery County Treasurer’s Office with $444,411.31 owed in property taxes, according to court records. The Ombudsman Office recently visited Friendship Village to conduct staff and resident interviews at the request of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to ensure resident care does not decline during the bankruptcy proceedings. While the Ombudsman Office does not anticipate Friendship Village to close — expecting it will be sold — the facility would be required to give residents a 90-day notification before closing. Friendship Village’s assets are listed as being between $10 million and $50 million, according to court filings. The liabilities for the debtors are between $100 million and $500 million with between 200 and 1,000 creditors.
