Wellspring of Milwaukee nursing home now closed after chaotic week
Wellspring of Milwaukee, a nursing home and rehabilitation center, moved the last of its roughly 105 residents on Thursday after a chaotic day and week set off when its bank account was frozen.
The nursing home’s last day included police responding to angry former employees, who believed they would not get paid, gathering in the parking lot and a threat against the nursing home’s executive director.
It ended with the last residents’ being transported late Thursday afternoon and police escorting the nursing home’s executive director to the highway after she locked up the building.
Wellspring, 9350 W. Fond du Lac, had to find new homes for its residents after it learned on Monday that its bank account had been frozen. The nursing home previously had planned to close in mid-April.
