Mr. Charles E. Carter founded South Roanoke Nursing Home in 1962 after reading several articles about long term care facilities. He felt the concept was important and needed in the Roanoke Valley.

A partnership was developed, plans were drawn and in September of 1964, South Roanoke Nursing Home was established.

Noted as being the first modern facility of its kind in the Roanoke Valley, South Roanoke Nursing Home has fostered a lasting relationship with the Roanoke Valley by providing quality nursing care and rehabilitation. Not only has South Roanoke Nursing Home built meaningful relationships with the surrounding community, but with its employees, as evidenced by 481 total years of service from its staff and 24 employees with 10 years of service or more.
