Established as a non- profit Foundation on November 15, 1934, the Home was a gift from Sylvester F. Blackburn, whose wish was that his estate be used to build a retirement home for the elderly. Many of the antique furnishings in the Home are from his estate.

In following our tradition of excellence, the Blackburn Home Board of Trustees and staff strive to maintain a "homey" and "loving" atmosphere, keeping in mind that the top priority is the comfort and security of our residents.

MISSION STATEMENT:

Our mission is to provide our residents with dignified and loving care for the enhancement of their physical, mental and spiritual well-being.

Blackburn Home accepts donations for the "Designated Care Fund for Residents" for extraordinary needs of our residents.
