Fahrney-Keedy Senior Living Community, founded in 1905 and linked to Dr. Peter Fahrney and the Fahrney family, stands as a faith-based place that provides housing and care for seniors across several options like independent living, assisted living, memory care, short-term rehabilitation, and skilled nursing. The campus includes 41 cottages and 24 apartments for independent living, a licensed Level III 50-room assisted living and memory care facility, and a fully certified 98-bed Medicare/Medicaid skilled nursing center. Residents get home-style meals, help with laundry, and transportation for outings, so they can stay active and involved. The staff, including Registered Nurses, GNAs, CNAs, Medication Technicians, Personal Caregivers, and Companions, are bonded, insured, and go through background checks to make sure everyone gets respectful and caring support, with nurses overseeing personal care to keep quality high.
The community encourages residents to decorate their rooms with personal items and photos, making each space feel familiar and comfortable, especially in the new memory care unit with rooms made for safety and comfort. Fahrney-Keedy offers many activities, both recreational and social, plus a community center and gym for staying healthy and connected. There's a focus on meeting all needs-physical, emotional, and spiritual-with options for pastoral care, social services, and Family Group Council support.
Special support includes wound care, podiatry care, hospice, respite, and restorative services, along with help for daily activities like bathing or dressing, and accommodations for special diets. There's a large short-term rehabilitation center with therapy rooms, where people get physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus pain management through several methods like electrical stimulation, ultrasound, massage, and moist heat. They help with speech and cognition issues, like trouble swallowing, and work with body strengthening and gait training. The Jone L. Bowman Adult Medical Day Center sits on campus, providing day health services, and the community grounds have seen recent renovations and a master plan for future growth.
The Coffman Nursing Home (CNH) within Fahrney-Keedy brings skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and extra amenities, while the staff assesses each person's needs and makes home-safety suggestions before they leave. Fahrney-Keedy fits a variety of needs, from active retirees wanting freedom from chores to people needing help with daily life or specialized memory support, and shows a long-standing commitment to compassionate, quality care for seniors.
