Note: The Reconstruction Home was at
318 S Albany St. Originally a home for children and adults in need of treatment for the impact of infantile paralysis, opening July 8, 1920 with four patients. Later it opened its doors to elderly patients seeking a nursing home and rehabilitation services. In the 1990s, the Home became a pioneer in health care once again as it opened the only Alzheimer’s Unit and Adult Day Health Center and on-site rehabilitation in the area.
