Monette, Arkansas – On Tuesday, the neighborhood was invited to Monette Manor’s open house.
A tornado decimated the nursing home in December 2021. Rick Sampson, a co-owner, made the decision to construct a brand-new facility.
“We are filled with excitement; this has been a long time coming… It’s very emotional for a lot of people,” said Lauren Smith, director of nursing, at the facility.
The afternoon open house was packed with visitors, many of whom saw the therapy center and larger rooms.
Smith reported that in the facility, she saw several familiar people.
“It’s been wonderful, it’s been kind of a reunion and we’ve had an incredibly supportive community members coming out, it’s been great,” she said.
There were also state representatives present; Arkansas State Senator David Wallace was present along with four other representatives.
The facility will open next week with seven residents, according to Smith.
