Trilogy Health Services, a Kentucky-based firm which owns and manages nursing home facilities in several states, including Indiana, has agreed to acquire St. Elizabeth Healthcare Center in Delphi. The facility, owned by the Franciscan Sisters of Chicago Service Corp., is located on Armory Road and has served the local area for 22 years. According to a Trilogy Health Services press release, the transaction is expected to be completed in a matter of months.

St. Elizabeth Administrator Jan Gibson said Tuesday she considers the sale to be very positive for the residents, the staff and the community in Delphi.

"There will be no major personnel changes at our facility," she said. "We met with staff and residents last week and it seems to be, so far, so good."

Gibson said Trilogy owns 40 centers in Indiana alone, including ones in Kokomo, Logansport and Lebanon. She said Trilogy is a for-profit company dedicated to providing good health care.

"We are progressing at a good pace," Gibson continued. "Families have received a letter of explanation about the potential change."

"But we are not anticipating the sale to be final until close to the end of the year," she concluded.
