(Red Oak) Nishna Productions Inc. is working with the Glenwood Resource Center to transition several of its residents to many of Nishna Productions’ sites in southwest Iowa.
In April, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds announced the closing of the Glenwood Resource Center over the next two years. Reynolds pointed toward staffing issues and legitimate questions about the residents’ care and safety.
Sherri Clark, Nishna Productions Executive Director, says communication with the Glenwood Resource Center started long before the closure.
Clark admits Nishna Productions admitted three residents before the closing date and transitioned to another one within the last two weeks.
Additionally, Nishna Productions is transitioning six more residents from the Glenwood Center to a duplex Nishna operates in Red Oak and affordable housing.
Nishna Production plans, hopes, and dreams to build three family homes to accommodate four people each. The potential for these homes is in Red Oak, Malvern, and possibly Tabor.
