New hospital south of town - old hospital now a medical center - Medical Arts and Fairfield Clinic doctors moved in recently
Whoops - I got it wrong - Cindy sends this explanation...
The old hospital is now Sunnybrook Living Care Center. It will eventually be all nursing home. Sunnybrook *bought 30-50 beds* when Nelson Nursing Home was shut down. Fairfield Clinic and Medical Arts Clinic and The Professional Clinic(surgeons) are all now located at the new hospital. They each have their own separate facilities inside the hospital. I haven't seen them since they just moved in this past weekend. All of their old buildings are for sale. It has been an awful transition for the residents the past 6 mo. not knowing who or IF there would be new owners. Sunnybrook couldn't getting financing so a nursing home in Mt. Pleasant backed them until they could. It has been a mess and a huge turn over of help(and half of them don't show up for work). I am sooooo glad I don't have a relative there right now. I think it will get better when they figure out who is doing what.
