Based at 900 East Laharpe in Kirksville, Adair County, Missouri, Preferred Family Healthcare Inc houses 57 residents and serves as one site within a multi-state healthcare organization operating nearly 100 locations. With more than 40 years in operation, the organization focuses on integrated care combining mental health, behavioral health, and addiction recovery services with residential support. Mr Walter (Vince) Winn directs operations at this location.
The service array distinguishes this facility from traditional senior living environments. Residents access addiction recovery programs, employment services, integrated health coordination, supported living arrangements, mental and behavioral health treatment, crisis response services, Dayspring Community Services, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and Health Home Services. The residential care classification reflects this behavioral and mental health specialization rather than a medical or skilled nursing orientation.
Kirksville’s city center location yields a walk score of 77, making the facility very walkable. Most daily errands are feasible on foot, and essential services sit within short walking distance. Healthcare facilities, pharmacies, shops, restaurants, and banks cluster nearby without requiring vehicle transportation for routine needs.
The facility’s regulatory classification under the residential care framework differs substantially from traditional skilled nursing homes; this reflects service intensity rather than quality but does mean different state oversight mechanisms apply.
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, Division of Regulation and Licensure, conducts inspections and unannounced surveys. Direct inquiry with the facility or the state agency will yield compliance records.
Prospective residents should ask about specific programs, monthly costs and payment terms, and eligibility for state financial assistance based on income, age, and disability status.
