At least 12 residents of Wildflower House, an assisted living apartment complex in Temple, will likely be forced to find new homes after the owners of the complex ended a contract with the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services for its community-based alternatives program.

The program, funded by Medicaid, provides cost-effective, home and community-based services to people 21 and older who qualify for nursing facility care, according to the state Web site.

Laurie Bebo, corporate executive officer of Assisted Living Concepts of Milwaukee - the owners of the Temple facility, said the company decided not to renew its contract with the state for the program, in part, for financial reasons.
