Overview of The Homestead of Manhattan

Facebook Instagram

Homestead of Manhattan is a 48-unit licensed assisted living and memory care facility at 1923 Little Kitten Avenue in Manhattan, Kansas. Administered by Nicole Wheeler and part of the Midwest Health network, the community serves Riley County with a combination of personalized assisted living, specialized memory support, and short-term respite care.

The community operates under a state-licensed model that offers 24-hour medical oversight and personalized assistance for residents requiring help with activities of daily living. While the facility does not hold federal CMS star ratings as a state-licensed assisted living center, current 2026 filings indicate that it maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero based on its latest compliance surveys. Occupancy remains strong at approximately 88%, with 35 of 40 beds occupied, reflecting consistent demand in the local Manhattan area. For eligible residents, the facility also participates in the Kansas Medicaid Frail Elderly (FE) Waiver program.

Support is provided 24/7 by a team of licensed nurses, certified medication aides, and nursing assistants who manage medication administration, bathing, and mobility. The clinical team coordinates specialized services such as incontinence management and on-site physical, occupational, or speech therapy through ancillary partnerships. Memory care residents benefit from additional safety protocols, including keypad-controlled doors and a wander-alert system—as well as cognitive-support programming modeled on established dementia care frameworks. Staff use electronic health-record software and a wireless pendant system to monitor care needs and respond quickly to resident requests.

The single-story residence features private studios and one-bedroom suites equipped with kitchenettes, walk-in showers, and individually controlled climate systems. All-inclusive services cover three scratch-made meals daily in an airy bistro, weekly housekeeping, and personal laundry.

Community life is supported by diverse shared spaces, including: A fireside living room, an activity studio, a library with computer stations, and a full-service beauty and barber salon. Residents can enjoy a secure landscaped courtyard with raised garden beds and walking paths, while an on-site movie lounge provides a cozy space for entertainment. Scheduled transportation in a community van covers medical appointments, shopping trips to Dillons or Walmart, and group outings to local nature trails and concerts.

Prospective residents seeking a professional care team in an intimate, homelike setting with specialized memory support may find this environment appropriate. Interested individuals should contact the administrator directly to discuss current bed availability and schedule a tour to assess the 2026 quality performance and residential neighborhoods firsthand.
