The formal closing will likely take place in the coming year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By a vote of 3-0 Tuesday, the Commissioners decided that Golden Meadows will close, based on a study of the facility and the cost involved in continuing to operate the facility, which has been in operation since the early 1900&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commissioner Steve Bailey read a statement explaining the reasoning behind the planned closing of Golden Meadows&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"http:\/\/98.158.76.108\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/NEWSwed2.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Approximately 20 people still reside at Golden Meadows.  Properly staffing the facility has become harder and harder the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At one time, nearly every county in Indiana operated a county retirement home.
