The history of Hudson Memorial Nursing Home dates back to the 1950s, when community members recognized the need for a dedicated facility to care for senior citizens in the area. A Board of Directors was appointed and played a critical role in the planning and development of the nursing home. After years of preparation, the home was officially dedicated on January 3, 1960, in a ceremony attended by nearly 500 people. The very next morning, Hudson Memorial welcomed its first resident, Mr. Julius Meek, marking the beginning of its commitment to exceptional care in a modern 60-bed facility.
Over the years, Hudson Memorial Nursing Home has continually expanded to better serve its residents. In 1971, significant additions were made to the facility, including 50 new beds, a laundry room, a beauty shop, an activity room, and additional storage space. These enhancements were designed to improve the quality of life for residents and provide more comprehensive services. Today, Hudson Memorial provides a home for a diverse group of residents and is supported by approximately 140 dedicated employees who work together to maintain the highest standards of professionalism and compassion.
