July 31, 2023 – According to staff emails obtained by 16 News Now, Landmark executives say the furlough comes after the company’s Medicaid insurance contracts were canceled.
All patients at the Mishawaka, Carmel, and Bluffton facilities are expected to be transitioned out or discharged by this Thursday.
Just last week, Indiana’s Division of Mental Health and Addiction revoked licenses for the Landmark facilities in Mishawaka, Bluffton, and Carmel.
The Mishawaka location has been under fire since three deaths were reported there earlier this month. As those death investigations have unfolded, numerous allegations of misconduct at the facility have surfaced.
On Monday, Landmark Recovery issued a statement, acknowledging the facilities being shut down:
Landmark Recovery has been forced by Indiana DMHA to shut down three facilities in Indiana. They will close on August 3. This means that 400 per month of the most vulnerable citizens who rely on Medicaid to access treatment for life threatening addiction will not be able to access care. An average of 4 individuals with addiction die per day in IN. We believe that more will die as a result of this decision to shut down over half of the Medicaid treatment beds in the state. We are doing everything in our power to fight the untrue narratives that have been shared about our facility and we are appealing the decision by DMHA this week.
