DES MOINES, Iowa — Older Iowans in four communities will soon lose their assisted living apartments. KCCI says according to Care Initiatives, assisted living facilities in Lamoni, Odebolt, Panora and Dunlap are converting to independent living apartments, meaning residents who cannot live on their own will need to find a new place to live.

Care Initiatives says it’s working to find new accommodations for those people. The changes will take effect in 90 days.

Care will still run assisted living facilities in Avoca and Correctionville.
