Celebration Villa of Hearthstone West is a 60-bed senior living community at 3515 SW 6th Avenue in Topeka, Kansas. Managed by Priority Life Care and led by administrator Renee M. Elwood, the 10-acre campus serves Shawnee County with a mix of independent living, assisted living, and respite care. The facility is located on a sprawling prairie landscape, offering a residential model that balances clinical support with extensive outdoor space.
A state-licensed framework governs the community’s operations, focusing on localized healthcare coordination and 24-hour staffing. Though state-licensed communities do not receive federal CMS star ratings, current 2026 filings show the campus maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero for its most recent health and safety surveys. With occupancy at roughly 57%, the facility offers a more quiet, low-density environment than larger regional complexes. Monthly rates for studio and one-bedroom apartments start at $2,300, with no additional community fee required.
Nursing staff and personal care aides are stationed on-site 24/7 to facilitate medication management and daily living support. The medical model coordinates in-home health, hospice, and on-site visits from dentists, podiatrists, and physicians to minimize off-site travel for residents. Physical therapy and strength-building programs, including Tai Chi and chair yoga, are integrated into the weekly schedule to preserve mobility. Priority Life Care’s emphasis on consistent staffing levels earned the organization a Great Place to Work certification for the 2025–2026 cycle.
The outdoor environment is a primary highlight, featuring lush courtyards, scenic gardens, and paved trails designed for safe exploration. Pet-friendly residences include kitchenettes, high-speed Wi-Fi, and individual climate controls to ensure personal comfort. Monthly service fees are all-inclusive, covering three chef-prepared meals daily, weekly housekeeping, and personal laundry.
Social enrichment is supported by a calendar of diverse activities:
Residents participate in gardening clubs, trivia contests, live theater performances, and cultural outings to local Topeka attractions. On-site amenities include a library, a fireplace lounge, and a beauty salon, while scheduled transportation is provided for medical visits and local errands.
Older adults seeking a tranquil, garden-focused setting with a deficiency-free regulatory record may find this campus appropriate. To evaluate the current environment, prospective residents and their families should contact the administrator to discuss elopement prevention protocols and tour the residential neighborhoods to assess 2026 quality firsthand.
