About NBANH
The New Brunswick Association of Nursing Homes was officially incorporated on January 10, 1972. The main objectives of the Association were to promote a high standard of care and efficiency in nursing homes, to provide an opportunity for consultation and to take united action on all matters of common interest and concern to the Association.
There were originally two different groups of nursing homes that wished to form the Association. The first meeting was held in Chatham at Mount St. Joseph early in 1971. However, there were only a few Home representatives that attended and it was not possible to form the Association. A subsequent meeting was held by the second group at the Lord Beaverbrook Hotel in Fredericton. As a result of this meeting, which was organized by K. Drew of Drew Nursing Home, Sackville and W.G Heatherington of York Manor, Fredericton, the Association was formed.
The first general meeting of the Association took place on November 22, 1971 at York Manor, Fredericton. At that meeting, the By-laws of the Association were approved, and the first Executive was elected.
