PRESBYTERIAN MANORS INC

Fort Scott Presbyterian Village has been the very best place for us to “age in place.” We live in a comfortable apartment and go on with our lives, yet we are surrounded by friends among residents and staff. If we need assistance, as Jim often does, managing his Parkinson’s, kind and capable staff are immediately available to help with showers or loading him into the car or assisting him back into the apartment when we return from the hospital. Good meals arrive daily, things we have chosen ourselves from menu options. Marla Heckman, ED, sees that the building and programs run in good order, and DON Ellen Fairchild and her staff make sure new employees are well-trained and diligent. I am particularly grateful with the patience and respect for Jim’s comfort and dignity they ALL show him day in and day out. We are so glad we made the move!

The staff at the manor in Fort Scott are amazing! When I originally moved my mother in, she was highly anxious and simply wanted to just live at home. There were reasons that wasn’t feasible anymore, especially at that moment. Here we are, many years later, her original temporary stay has become permanent and she truly loves it. She can choose to set in her room to do her own thing, or she can take part in the many wonderful activities that are planned for them. For me, it is a blessing to know that she has such caring people taking care of her watching over her and that she is not alone. I would recommend this facility to anyone in need that has the means to do so.

Fort Scott Presbyterian Village truly stands out as a place where residents are treated with dignity, compassion, and genuine love. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warm, welcoming environment and see how dedicated the team is to creating a home-like atmosphere. The team works together with kindness and professionalism, and it’s clear that the residents’ wellbeing always comes first. Marla the administrator is a huge part of what makes this community so special. She leads with heart, integrity, and a true passion for serving others. She is approachable, supportive, and always willing to step in and help wherever needed (I’ve even seen her call Bingo!) You can tell she genuinely cares about both residents and team, and her leadership sets a positive tone throughout the entire facility. The team goes above and beyond to make residents feel valued, safe, and engaged every day. It’s comforting to know there are communities like this where people are truly cared for like family. I would absolutely recommend Fort Scott Presbyterian Village to anyone looking for a caring, supportive, and well-run senior living community

As a pastor who volunteers and visits various facilities in the area, I have always loved Presbyterian Village. They appreciate their volunteers, the residents always seem happy and well cared for, and there's always something for them to do. The assistance I've seen staff provide their residents has always been with care and respect for the individual. I'm grateful for each employee there and the care they provide for the residents.

I enter their Art is Ageless contestbevery year. It is a good activity for older people. They include people not living there. I have been to several events they have. Everyone who lives there us very happy anytime I have been there. I did take a tour of the apartments once they are very nice. All the staff that works there are very good to the residents. They plan outside activities for the residents to go too.
