One home on Konza Ridge, 1997
Ron and Linda Pratt opened the first home west of Manhattan after watching Linda's father move two hours away for care. Forty-eight apartments, a big front porch and a view of the hills.
Our story
How we got here
The people, the place and the promise behind every day of care.
Our story
From one home on Konza Ridge to three
A kitchen that bakes
Linda insisted the kitchen make its own bread. It still does, every morning at five. The recipe has not changed, and neither has the line for cinnamon rolls on Saturday.
Memory care, 2006
When families asked for a safer place for parents with dementia, we built a small secured neighborhood with its own courtyard, so no one had to leave the building, or their spouse, to get the care they needed.
Junction City, 2011
Military families from Fort Riley kept calling. The Junction City home opened with a flag on the porch, a veterans' coffee on Wednesdays and a director who knows the VA paperwork by heart.
Council Grove, 2016
The smallest of our homes sits on the Santa Fe Trail, with six cottages and a porch that looks across the tallgrass. Ranch families from four counties live there now.
Still one family
Celia, who started as a college caregiver, now leads all three homes. Ron and Linda still come to Sunday supper, and Linda still checks the bread.
