General Information | History
| The Community The primary mission of Memorial Home, Inc. is to provide a continuum of long-term care services for the aged and handicapped persons who come to our facilities, and to do so within a framework of Christian concern. General Information The forty-acre Memorial Home campus includes a 60-bed health care unit, 19 assisted living units, a 14-bed special care unit, 19 independent living apartments, and 54 independent living units, is home to more than 190 residents. Memorial Home is sponsored by nine area churches and is committed to providing quality care in a Christian environment. Patient admissions, room assignments, and patient services are provided without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, disability or age. Top of Page History Memorial Home began as a personal gift of land by Katie Krehbiel who knew after becoming seriously ill, that she could no longer go back to her own home to live alone. She and her family searched for a nursing home but there were no available openings. A relative of Katie's had some years before suggested to her that the home place would be a fine location for older people. Now out of her own frustrations and fears, Katie became personally aware of the need of such special housing. In her will, Katie bequeathed 80 acres and the improvements on it to the Western District Conference of the General Conference Mennonite Church for the purpose of establishing a home for the aged as a memorial to her parents. And after some time had passed, the work began, garnering support from the Moundridge community and area churches. Many times in the early beginnings, Psalm 71:9 was quoted frequently: "Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth." The tone was somber, but the duty was clear. Memorial Home continues to grow as a continuing care retirement community with residential healthcare (assisted living and special care units), congregate apartment living, single and duplex residences.

Top of Page About the Community Memorial Home is located in a rural setting less than one mile south of the flourishing community of Moundridge, Kansas. It affords residents the opportunity to access the "wide open spaces", to witness wheat harvest at its busiest, a farmer methodically tilling the soil, and a rural mail carrier delivering mail to independent residents and other sights, sounds, and smells associated with country living. To serve the community at large, the City of Moundridge has a medical clinic with four physicians, a privately owned 27-bed hospital located near the clinic, an active ambulance service to serve its medical needs, a fire department, a dental clinic, banking services, a public library, and the best hardware store for miles around.
