Marian Manor Will Close its Doors in South Boston in the Fall

The Marian Manor nursing home in South Boston will close later this year after facing high renovation costs and failing to reach a deal to redevelop the site while keeping the operation open.

According to the Boston Globe, the decision was filed with the state Department of Public Health on Tuesday to close the nearly two-acre complex that is on Dorchester Street and stretches up to Thomas Park.

The Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm, who run the nursing home, told the Globe they are working to place all residents into new homes. The Manor is licensed for up to 215 nursing home beds and 23 “rest home” beds that need less intensive care.

Sad news for the residents and their families. No word yet on what exactly will replace the home in the future.
