(CNN) The group that operates an Arizona health care facility where a severely disabled woman was impregnated last year will keep the unit open after reaching a deal with state officials, Hacienda HealthCare said Friday.

The announcement comes a day after Hacienda said it decided to close the intermediate care facility for intellectually disabled patients because keeping the facility open was unsustainable.

Gov. Doug Ducey applauded Hacienda's willingness to stay open under a new regulation agreement, according to Ducey spokesman Patrick Ptak.

"Due to the medically fragile condition of this community, keeping patients where they reside was always our preferred choice and the safest option for patients," he said.

State agencies will work with the health-care provider to put together "a voluntary regulatory agreement with strong oversight and accountability measures that ensure safety and quality care going forward for patients," he said.
