Since built in 1968, Vernon Manor Children's Home
has built a reputation for providing high quality service to those with developmentally
disabilities in a home like atmosphere of Love and Attention.
Dr. Zydlo of Wabash and several of his business
associates had the Home built having a son born with Down's Syndrome,
he realized from first hand experience that children with "special needs"
would need to be cared for in a more specialized manner than that of a conventional
nursing home.
Clara Butcher, mother of Loretta Lynn, was one of the very first nurse
aides to work for Vernon Manor Children's Home.
Vernon Manor Children's Home became not-for-profit
in 1989, and is governed by a Board of Directors known as Hoosier Care and managed
by Jefferson Medical.
