In May of 2021 the city of Russell Kentucky decided to enact Eminent Domain on a 28 bed personal care home known as Russell Convalescent Home. 

The city wants to put in covered pavilion to have a farmers market per the mayor of Russell. This is clearly an act of city gain due to charging for a booth at the farmers market. 

The owners,employees  and residents at Russell Convalescent Home found out of the situation due to a newspaper article. The city of Russell didn’t inform everyone in a proper way. 

The facility currently serves as a home for mentally disabled adults. Our center serves to some as a permanent home and others as a temporary placement for guidance and life building skills for individuals to transition back into the community.
