The Telegraph of Macon reports that the closing of the James B. Craig Nursing Center at Central State Hospital will also force many of its 350 employees to search for new jobs.
Regional Hospital Administrator Dan Howell says officials anticipate closing the Craig Center by Dec. 31, 2013.
Officials say patients will gradually be evaluated and moved to other facilities with varying levels of care depending on patients' needs.
Howell said the center is closing for a variety of reasons, which include the belief that patients at the center can be supported "within existing community care providers."
