Quail Court repairs DOH approved

ODESSA — The Dept. of Health recently granted an expedited approval for the repair of Quail Court, an assisted living facility run by the local Memorial Healthcare Center that was damaged by a burst pipe during a freeze in January.

Healthcare Center CEO Brett Antczak confirmed the expedited approval to proceed with repair work Tuesday, Feb. 27.

“We are working through bids with contractors now to try and get work started as soon as possible,” Antczak said.

Work will include replacing drywall, insulation, flooring, siding, exterior walls and fixing the mechanical room where the pipe burst.

Residents were quickly evacuated to an assisted living facility in Moses Lake following January’s emergency. Quail Court had 12 residents at the time of the Jan. 14 freeze and subsequent flooding.
