Shawnee Hills
Shawnee Hills offers assisted living and independent living in Shawnee, KS. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps a private living space; Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Having both care levels may suit someone who wants independent living now and may need help with daily tasks later, since the resident can move to assisted living without leaving the community.
There are three layout choices. Studios suit one person, while one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts are also available; a two-bedroom layout can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion. Pets are allowed, so a resident with a pet can continue living with it. A Walk Score of 39 places the area in a car-dependent setting, meaning a resident will generally need a car or a ride for most errands. Shannon Lee Vestal serves as the administrator, and Shawnee Hills Senior Living operates the community.
