September 15, 2003 Closure of Rose Vista in Vancouver, Washington Adds to Nursing Facility Crisis in Clark County Rose Vista, a skilled nursing facility in Vancouver, Washington that provides services to those with mental and physical disabilities, closed on August 9, 2003. The 218-bed facility provided 33% of Clark Countys capacity. State and federal cuts for Medicaid and Medicare patients and rising costs are making nursing home businesses unprofitable in this county, according to The Columbian. The state has seen no expansion in its nursing center beds since 1995. Facilities, like Rose Vista, provide 24-hour skilled nursing . . .
