Overview of Delaware Highlands Assisted Living

Facebook

Operated by Delaware Highlands Assisted Living under the administration of Suzanne Sexton, Delaware Highlands Assisted Living is a 133-bed, three-story community located on Delaware Parkway in Kansas City, Kansas. Serving older adults for 22 years, the community maintains an 89% occupancy rate, reflecting its established presence and consistent demand.

Residents live in one-bedroom apartments with kitchenettes that provide privacy and space for preparing light meals or beverages. Additionally, the barrier-free design, free Wi-Fi, emergency alert systems, laundry services, and 24-hour nursing support help create a safe and convenient living environment.

Furthermore, three home-style meals are served each day, while daily activities, community outings, a beauty salon, and an on-site chapel encourage social engagement, personal well-being, and spiritual support. The surrounding neighborhood is largely car-dependent, making most errands and appointments easier to reach by vehicle.

Over its years of operation, state inspections have focused on documentation and care practices while recognizing ongoing operational improvements. More recent reviews identified no deficiencies, and most complaint investigations have been unsubstantiated, reflecting continued attention to regulatory compliance and quality standards.
