Hollywood Nursing Home - and its Star Residents - to Stay Put

On the eve of the Oscars, a Hollywood nursing home and hospital is celebrating a win of its own.

The Motion Picture & Television Fund's hospital and skilled nursing home, which serves Hollywood film industry veterans, was scheduled to close in 2009 because of a $10 million budget shortfall. However, the facility has reached a tentative agreement with Providence Health & Services that would allow the facility to stay open.

Under the terms of the agreement, Providence would operate the facility and take on its financial responsibilities. They would also add services that would be open to the more of the general public.

The center also features a dementia unit, Harry's Haven, that was named after Kirk Douglas's father.
