Overview of Brookdale Liberal Springs

Brookdale Liberal Springs is an assisted living community in Liberal, Kansas, with 56 beds. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks while residents live in a studio, one bedroom, or two bedroom home, and respite care offers a short term stay for a family caregiver who needs time to travel or recover. The size gives the community a defined residential setting rather than a large campus, and Sarah Knudsen serves as the administrator.

The starting price for assisted living is $4,555 per month, giving families a baseline for monthly budgeting.
