uring turbulent times of life in a pandemic, everyone seeks a sense of community – a place to belong, to be a part of something, to feel a little less alone when we must keep socially distant. Fortunately for the seniors of Washington County, there is a hidden gem waiting to be found that offers just that. Located at the foot of South Mountain is Fahrney Keedy Home and Village, a senior living facility in rural Boonsboro that offers a variety of independent living options, a fully licensed assisted living and memory care center, as well as a skilled nursing facility for those needing shortand long-term care. By staying true to its mission of enriching the lives of seniors through quality, caring service, what started as a single log cabin on the side of Md. 66 has now become a thriving community for active seniors. Each of our 65 homes (apartments and single-level ranch homes commonly referred to as cottages) range in size from 1,000-2,000 square feet and come fully equipped with a full kitchen, garage and laundry room. Maintenance crews handle all landscaping and snow removal, so there are no worries, regardless of the season. A meal plan with full delivery service is available. In addition to a growing village, residents also have access to a brandnew community center which features a full-service gym, recreation room, library, small meeting spaces and private rooms available to rent for special occasions. Our seniors enjoy a variety of activities like monthly book clubs, movie afternoons, Bible studies, card and game nights, craft days and birthday celebrations – including one for a resident who just turned 100 years old!
