Nelson County
“The Jefferson Area Board of Aging and Nelson County have
joined forces to investigate the potential need for assisted living and care
for memory-impaired individuals in the area. The two entities are paying for a
feasibility study by Maryland-based Howard & Associates that is to be
concluded by the end of January and will help determine if there is a need for
expanding care in the county.
‘The question is, What would meet the needs of people in
Nelson County?’ said Marta Keane, the CEO of JABA. A few years ago, Medical
Facility of America announced it would be relocating its operation at
Lovingston Health Care Center to a new facility in Albemarle County, the
construction of which now is in process. The organization obtained a
Certificate of Public Need from the Virginia Department of Health, and the move
is to be concluded some time in 2015, Keane said.”
