Our Story
Our History
Medicalodges was launched in 1961 when its first nursing home, Golden Age Lodge, was opened in Coffeyville, Kansas by founding owners Mr. and Mrs. S.A. Hann. The company grew through the 1960’s with the addition of eight nursing facilities. In 1969, Golden Age Lodges was renamed Medicalodges, Inc. As new care centers were built or purchased, the company expanded its products and services to include a continuum of health care. In February, 1998 the employees of Medicalodges acquired the company from its previous owners in a 100% Employee Stock Ownership Trust transaction. Today, the company owns and operates over 30 facilities and operations in Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma and employs over 2000 people in the communities it serves.
