The former Grundy County Home nursing facility may soon be in use again, but for a different purpose.

The facility, which is currently vacant, is now owned by Tony Baranski. Dr. Ronald Wuest, a psychiatrist and medical director for the Institute for Personal Development in Morris, is working with Baranski to turn the former nursing home into a wellness and treatment center.

Baranski and Wuest went before the Morris Planning Commission last month to preliminarily discuss the project. No action was taken then. They hope to go before the commission again this month with more specifics, Wuest said.
