Overview of Topeka Presbyterian Manor

Presbyterian Manors Inc operates Topeka Presbyterian Manor on SW 6th Avenue in Topeka’s West Southwest 2 neighborhood, about 3.6 miles from downtown. It is a CCRC campus, meaning nursing home, assisted living, and independent living all share the same address. That structure matters in practice: residents can move between care levels without leaving the community.

The facility has been operating since 1963. Tom Bechtel is the Executive Director; Christie Lynn Patrick is the administrator.

The Walk Score of 30 is honest about what the neighborhood offers, which is not much on foot. Most trips require a car.

The 123-bed campus runs at 55% occupancy, with 68 beds currently filled. An average stay of 256 days puts this squarely in long-term care territory rather than short-term rehabilitation. CMS Facility Characteristics counts 63 current residents. The community accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

Staffing data from CMS puts total nursing hours at 5 hours 9 minutes per resident per day. RN coverage is 27 minutes daily; nurse aide hours run at 3 hours 5 minutes. A Residents Group and Active Resident Council are both confirmed as organized programs through CMS Facility Characteristics.

State inspections over this facility’s history have addressed areas including medication management, fall and injury prevention, and dietary and food service, which are standard regulatory focus areas for long-term care campuses with this range of services.

Topeka Presbyterian Manor is a long-established CCRC in Topeka that covers the full spectrum from independent living to skilled nursing, accepts all three major payer types, and serves a population that tends to stay well beyond a short-term stay.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Kansas

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Kansas?

Assisted living in Kansas supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Kansas?

Assisted living in Kansas is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Kansas Medicaid cover assisted living?

Kansas Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Kansas) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 211 assisted living facilities in Kansas. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Kansas?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Kansas, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Kansas?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
