CHARLOTTE, N.C. — There are 32 people who call a retirement apartment building home who are being forced to find a new place to live after apartment managers gave them 30 days to move out.
The Brian Center Apartments near Albemarle Road is closing its doors.
"They came in and he handed me a letter and told me that they were closing it down," resident Edie Anderson said.
The letter said it was a business decision.
"A lot of these people don't know where they're going to go now," Anderson said.
The Brian Center is closing the apartments but will leave the nursing facility portion open, a representative said in an email to Channel 9.
"Management will work with each resident to find suitable placement," the letter read. "No resident will be forced to leave before placement can be found."
Last year, a Channel 9 investigation into complaints about nursing home care found Medicare records showing quality of care deficiencies at more than two dozen Brian Centers across North Carolina.
Anderson said her experience with the Brian Center Retirement Apartment on Albemarle Road has been positive to this point.
"It's been good," she said. "It's been very good. I like the place and it really threw me when they came by with that letter."
Anderson's daughter is helping her find a new home.
"It's a sad situation all the way around," Anderson said.
