BOONSBORO – The Fahrney Keedy Senior Living Community is adding top-of-the-line homes to the organization’s array of senior living options.
Operators of the non-profit senior facility recently broke ground on a model home at their 8507 Mapleville Rd. location. Paul Crampton Contractors will handle construction.
The model home will feature two bedrooms, two baths, a den, a two-car garage and sunroom. With more than 1,600 square feet of interior space, this single-family cottage will offer luxurious upgrades like a fireplace and granite countertops, complementing the open floor plan. This project, designed by Noelker & Hull Associates, reflects the next wave of independent living cottages on Fahrney Keedy’s 147-acre campus. The model home is expected to be completed by early spring 2025.
Fahrney Keedy President and CEO, Stephen Coetzee, emphasized the importance of independent living for seniors, saying, “Independent living is becoming an increasingly important option for the future of senior care. It serves our aging population at a point in their lives when they’re able to still be autonomous and embrace an active lifestyle, yet plan for their future by being part of a continuum of care. If and when advanced care is needed by the resident, our facility is within close reach.”
This expansion is made possible by a donation from Fahrney Keedy resident Sylvia Frank, whose contribution will cover the construction costs. Her hope is that this model home will drive pre-sales for the overall expansion, which will eventually include 36 individual units pending final approval from the Maryland Department of Aging.
Paul Crampton Jr., whose firm has designed and built homes in Washington County for more than 40 years, shared his enthusiasm for the project. “We’re looking forward to being part of your community and constructing this model. I think it’s going to bring a lot of people down here who’ll truly appreciate this way of life.”
Among those attending the groundbreaking were representatives from the Washington County Chamber of Commerce, Washington County Commissioners President John Barr, Vice President Jeff Cline, and Commissioner Randy Wagner, as well as Hagerstown Councilman Peter E. Perini, Sr.
Fahrney Keedy is offering a limited-time opportunity for future residents to secure a pre-sale of one of the new independent living cottages, with a 10 percent discount on their entrance fee.
