Assisted living facility in Benton closes due to rain damage

Thirteen people were living at Ashby Place Assisted Living Center in Benton when flooding occurred Monday and Wednesday.
It left several of inches of water in the bedrooms and flooded other parts of the 16 units.
Patrick Beaven, owner and operator, has made the decision to close indefinitely for safety reasons.
It also meant moving the 13 people out, as well as telling his 17 employees they were out of a job.
As of now, Beaven does not have any plans to relocate.
He said the water risk is too high, and he would have not built his business there if he knew of the dangers.
