NORTHAMPTON — Athena Health Care Systems, the company that owns Highview of Northampton, is financially struggling in Connecticut, where it also owns nursing homes.
The company recently sold five nursing homes in Connecticut, the Connecticut Mirror reported last month. As part of the deal, the purchaser, National Health Care Associates, will settle unpaid taxes and other overdue bills, the outlet said. Athena owes more than $45,000 in taxes to the towns that are home to four of the facilities, according to the Connecticut Mirror.
In Massachusetts, where it owns about 20 facilities, court filings suggest that the company is also facing financial challenges.
