J. Michael Morrow Memorial Nursing Home is a 175-bed facility that opened in 1984 to provide "A Home Away From Home."

J. Michael "Mike" Morrow, an attorney by profession, dreamed of establishing a nursing home so that his family and the citizens of Arnaudville would not have to leave the community when nursing home assistance was needed. Mike, the son of Dr. Robert L. "Bobby" Morrow and Ruth Grace "Teacup" Wilbert Morrow, started the process of establishing such a facility.  Consequently, he obtained the required Certificate of Need under the name "Teche Manor."

Mike was joined in this endeavor by his father, Dr. Bobby Morrow, Sr., Dr. Earl Morrogh, Paul LaPorte, Pat Morrow and Dr. John Tassin. Following Mike's untimely death, the group continued the work of establishing Teche Manor.  They named it "J. Michael Morrow Memorial Nursing Home" in honor of Mike.

Dr. Bobby and Dr. Earl were the two physicians who had taken care of the medical needs of the citizens of Arnaudville, and the surrounding area, for many years.  They became the first medical directors and primary care physicians for the residents. Just as it was an asset to the nursing home when those two local doctors took care of the residents, today, Dr. Kirk Elliott continues this special treatment by caring for the residents three times weekly and when needed.

Teche Manor dba J. Michael Morrow Memorial Nursing Home has successfully operated since the day it was founded on August 30, 1984.  Every resident lives in a loving environment and receives expert and responsive care by a staff of mostly local people who provide that "personal touch" that makes J. Michael Morrow Memorial Nursing Home unique.
