Wg Hearthstone West Sh LLC
Wg Hearthstone West offers assisted living, independent living, and respite care in Topeka, Kansas. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks while a resident maintains a private apartment. Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care, while respite care provides short term stays for a family caregiver who needs temporary coverage during travel or recovery.
The community has 60 beds and may suit someone who wants care options that can change as needs develop without moving to another community. Residents can spend time in the courtyards, scenic gardens, and walking trails, with scheduled outings to local restaurants, shopping trips, and outdoor activities. Pets are allowed, so a resident may be able to continue living with a pet.
A Walk Score of 78 places the area in the very walkable category. Most errands can be completed on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may still be able to reach nearby shops and services independently. Hospice coordination is available for residents who need help arranging hospice related care; Renee M Elwood serves as the administrator, and Vtr Hearthstone West operates the community.
