About Us
Our History
In 1973, the Linn Community Nursing Home, a community owned, not for profit nursing home was constructed in Linn Kansas. It was formed by the churches in the Linn area and is still operated by a board of
member representatives from those churches and the local Linn Booster Club. It was created to provide a home
for those in need of compassionate, professional and loving care.
