Providing a wide range of services for individuals over 60 years of age.

The "Fahrney Memorial Home for the Aged" was founded in 1905 by Dr. Peter Fahrney of Chicago, in honor of his grandfather of the same name who had lived in the Mapleville, Maryland area.

He transferred and incorporated a small land plot of land and a large eight-room building which he called "San Mar" that had served as his summer home.  His grandfather's small office building stood on the same property and survives to this day.

In 1952 a bequest from the estate of Hagerstown businessman Clarence Keedy was accepted and the name of the facility was changed to Fahrney-Keedy Memorial Home.

Over the years, major additions and remodels were made to the main facility in 1907. 1915, 1918, 1952, 1961, 1973,1985, 1993 and 2001.

We became known as Fahrney-Keedy Home & Village when our independent living retirement village was begun in 1962 and today it consists of 61 cottages and apartments.
