National Nursing Home Week, May 11 - 17, 2008

Memorial Manor

Memorial Manor was built adjacent to Memorial Hospital in 1972, when Fidelis Nursing Home closed. The Fidelis Nursing Home Board of Directors, including Mrs. H. H. "Liz" Felty, Mrs, J. M. "Mary Bruce" Woodbury, and Mrs J. S. "Audrey" Cliett, were instrumental in the construction of the new nursing home when they transferred the Fidelis assets to the Hospital Authority. Memorial Manor opened under the leadership of Herbert Nussbaum, Chairman of the Hospital Authority, Houston Wisener, Administrator, Loreta Coggins Brown, Supervising Nurse for the Memorial Manor, and Mrs. Irene Toole, Director of Nurses for both the Hospital and Memorial Manor.

An addition to Memorial Manor was constructed in 1979, adding 40 beds to the existing Manor's 67 bed capacity for a total of 107 beds. Memorial Manor is licensed by the State of Georgia. Over 75 employees are currently on staff to assist Memorial Manor's residents.
