Linn Community Nursing Home is a community owned, not-for-profit skilled nursing facility that has been an integral part of the Linn, Kansas area since 1973. Founded through the collaboration of local churches and still managed by a board comprised of representatives from these churches as well as the Linn Booster Club, the home exemplifies a strong tradition of compassion and service. Its mission is to provide a caring, supportive environment for individuals who require assistance due to aging, illness, recovery, or rehabilitation. This sense of community stewardship ensures that residents can trust in the individualized attention and high-quality care provided around the clock.
Set amid the tranquil backdrop of Linn’s surrounding farmland, Linn Community Nursing Home offers residents the comfort and familiarity of home. With 52 Medicare certified beds, the facility accommodates both private and semi-private rooms, giving residents a choice of living arrangements that meet their needs and preferences. The living experience is further enhanced by an open dining style, where residents can choose from daily specials or select items from a full, restaurant-style menu. Family, friends, and pets are welcome to visit at any time, and the presence of household pets within the facility adds to the homelike and welcoming atmosphere.
The focus on supportive companionship extends beyond basic medical care. Linn Community Nursing Home is committed to fostering genuine, caring relationships between residents and staff, ensuring one-on-one attention that helps each individual achieve their highest level of independence. The facility’s dedicated therapists work hard to help residents reach personalized rehabilitation goals. Occupational therapy is designed to promote independence in daily activities, such as bathing, eating, dressing, and other self-care or home management tasks, with an emphasis on safety and fall prevention.

Speech therapy at Linn Community Nursing Home aims to improve functional communication, cognitive skills, and swallowing abilities, often introducing diet modifications and special feeding techniques to support residents' unique needs.
The continuity of care offered at Linn Community Nursing Home also extends to outpatient therapy services for individuals who have recently been hospitalized and could benefit from additional support. In addition, the facility provides six independent living apartments for those seeking a more autonomous lifestyle while still enjoying access to supportive resources.
