Special K Ranch has a growing waiting list for hopeful candidates that want to call SKR home. Because of changing needs of residents and rare vacancies, the board and staff of Special K Ranch concluded that it needs to expand by building additional resident homes.
In 2006, the ranch acquired 80 additional acres along its eastern border. The property has been surveyed and a master plan has been created which includes the eventual addition of five more homes and a recreational center. The first of the five new homes was completed in 2019.
The new homes are a larger investment compared to a standard home; however, they serve as two homes in one. With a sectioned-off apartment, neither the residents nor their home advisors will need to be displaced (to relief homes) for weekends in which relief staff are on duty.
Completed in September 2024, the Recreation Center is an exciting addition to the ranch and the lives of our residents. The new Rec Center includes a multi-purpose gym, exercise room, office space, and so much more. Residents are thrilled to have a full-size basketball court where they can practice and play. Special thanks to our generous donors and to CDW Construction for making this dream a reality.
