89 long term residents will be looking for another place to live with a nursing home in Parksley closing its doors in October.
The Riverside Health System says there are a number of problems with the building including flooding and the impact of a recent lightning strike.
The nursing home also has 128 employees.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that Bill Downey president and chief executive of the health care organization said shutting down facility was a "difficult decision".
The organization says there are 35 available beds at facilities on the Virginia Eastern Shore and that it will be looking for other spaces for its residents.
The Daily Times reports that Riverside will also see if the state will take residents on Medicaid to facilities on the Maryland Eastern Shore.
