ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga., Feb. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Magnolia Manor, Inc. announced that the Brian Center Inn on St. Simons Island will become the Magnolia Manor of St. Simons Nursing and Rehabilitation Center effective Tuesday, March 1, 2005. The Nursing and Rehabilitation Center joins the Magnolia Manor of St. Simons retirement community located off of Frederica Road.
Magnolia Manor, Inc. is a non-profit organization that operates seven retirement communities in Georgia. The organization is affiliated with the United Methodist Church and serves 1,300 individuals as an older adult ministry of the Church’s South Georgia Conference.
“Acquisition of the Nursing and Rehabilitation Center benefits our residents tremendously,” said Magnolia Manor President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Todd. “Magnolia Manor of St. Simons will now include that vital continuum of care we strive to offer throughout our organization,” Todd said.
