Our History

The Kings Daughters and Sons Foundation, Inc. of Kentucky was established in 1909 and organized for charitable purposes only. The corporation was first known as The Home for the Incurables and provided residential services for Kentuckians afflicted with an incurable physical disability or disease. Along the way, the name of the facility was changed to The King’s Daughters and Sons Home, Inc. and nursing home services were provided to the residents. Throughout the years of the existence of the nursing home, oversight and management was provided by a Board of Directors. In 2006, the Board of Directors voted to sell the nursing home and use the proceeds to fund The King’s Daughters and Sons Foundation of Kentucky, Inc.
