Home Sweet Home

Home Sweet Home sat at 103 E Conner Ave in Fairland, Oklahoma, and for about 30 years, folks could find a place that felt a lot like a neighborhood where residents could count on caregivers and enjoy company with each other, since the place worked as a residential care home for seniors and offered help with bathing, dressing, grooming, medication reminders, cooking, cleaning, and more, covering what most people mean by assisted living, memory care, and adult day care. Over the years, there were community centers and lounges, and at one point, the list of amenities included a chapel, art studio, cyber cafe, bocce courts, clubhouses, fitness center, putting green, sand volleyball, underground parking, a shop, billiard room, convenience store, salon, theatre, library, walking trails, outdoor pools, a sewing area, various dining rooms, both private and shared suites, WiFi, and even a greenhouse, which meant residents could keep active and enjoy a home-like setting, and while the staff could help with day-to-day needs and medication, there was also a wide range of healthcare providers, from dentists, dietitians, and fitness experts to doctors of many specialties like cardiologists, dermatologists, and chiropractors. Home Sweet Home didn't allow pets and wasn't running any special offers. The place was owned by Bill Kerns, CEO, and had a small team-about four people worked there, and with annual sales of roughly $120,000, the business focused on elderly and disabled care, helping with retirement living, and providing specialized wellness extras like wellness news, featured health articles, discount health benefits, and some sponsored products, though there was no main website, only a Facebook page marking some presence online. The facility closed permanently after many years of service, but during its time, it was known for working as a small, approachable place where seniors could find daily support and a community atmosphere, especially useful for those looking for help with daily activities in a simple, comfortable environment.
