While supporting individual independence, Candlerock provides a safe and secure home to people with mental illnesses. By lowering some of life stressors through medication and time management, Candlerock residents are able to achieve and maintain stability.
Candlerock is one of the largest residential care facilities in Kansas. It has been a successfully operating business for almost 25 years. Due to the death of one of the founding investors, funds are needed to continue uninterrupted in the business of providing a home to 40 people who are not qualified for nursing home care and are not yet stable enough to live independently.
Candlerock is a three-story masonary structure with a peaceful, rural 15 acre setting, approximately 1 mile east of Fredonia, Kansas. The building was solidly constructed in 1937 by returning World War I veterans as part of the WPA program and remains in good repair. The property also has five independent-living dwellings, a large work shop, and barns.
We have a 40 resident capacity in the main building, a full kitchen - serving three nutritional meals per day, supervised medications , 24/7 trained and experienced staffing, and a complete laundry service. One of Candlerock’s unique offerings is that there is no time limit on stays. We believe that independent living is not a matter of where you live, but how you live. We invite, teach, and encourage residents to participate in their own lives. They visit salons, dine out, shop and attend church as they desire. They pay taxes; they vote.
Candlerock closely works with mental health providers to insure necessary awareness and care. Any resident with a mental health referral is encouraged to participate in other services offered as an out source - community integration, community activities, psychiatric services, drug and alcohol counseling, case management and therapy.
Candlerock is not a nursing home. It is not a Medicare nor Medicaid provider. All residents of Candlerock are private pay, ensuring a personal interest in self-motivation, personal growth and awareness, medication stability, and progression to a more stable life-style.
Our 24 hour staffing is dedicated, caring, enthusiastic, and family oriented. Our success is due to understanding the needs of the individual and our willingness to commit our personal investment of time and care.
