News from Clarissa's Past
25 Years Ago
May 12, 1999
National Nursing Home Week is observed May 9-15 this year. There has been bad news about nursing homes in the media for as long as the homes have been in operation. Allegations of abuse are as far reaching as all sides of the United States and beyond. The Central Todd County Care Center located in Clarissa is one of the many exceptions to the “bad news nursing home” story. The building is well cared for and clean. It was built over 22 years ago and in that time 525 people have been employed there. Currently, there are 110 employees.
