Bethany Lutheran Homes no longer being evicted, after joint statement with Inclusa confirming agreement

It’s been made official.

Bethany Lutheran Homes in La Crosse and Stevens Point-based Inclusa have released a joint statement confirming a deal reached to allow 66 Bethany residents “can maintain their living arrangements.”

Earlier this month, Inclusa notified assisted living residents that they would have to make other living arrangements after contract negotiations between the two companies over rates had broken down.

It was apparently a pretty good negotiation ploy because, just days later, the two organizations had negotiated a new deal.

The new statement, released Tuesday afternoon, pledged ongoing cooperation between Bethany and Inclusa.
