The closures are all effective Friday, WayForth said.
"First and foremost, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support and understanding during this challenging time," WayForth said on Facebook. "We have had the honor of serving the senior community since 2016, and we cannot thank you enough for being a part of our journey."
