Overview of Cedar Lake Village

Cedar Lake Village sits on S Lone Elm Rd in Olathe. The building has been open for 24 years. It’s a mid-rise property with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts. Residents here can get several kinds of care in one place: assisted living, independent living, memory care, respite care, and skilled nursing.

The building holds 72 beds. Right now 51 of them are filled, so occupancy sits at 71%. Getting around the neighborhood on foot isn’t really an option. The Walk Score here is 11, which means most trips call for a car.

Inside, residents have plenty to do. There’s an exercise gym, an indoor heated pool, and a chapel. A movie theater and a library give people different ways to spend downtime. Walking trails loop past a scenic pond, and there are puzzle stations for residents who want something quieter. An ice cream parlor adds a fun extra touch. Beyond the building itself, staff keep a full activity calendar running, and residents can turn to rehab services or respite care whenever they need them.

Joanna Randall serves as Executive Director. Kansas regulators check in on nursing homes like this one regularly. Their reviews tend to focus on a few core areas: how medications are managed, how ready the facility is for emergencies, how food service is handled, and how well resident rights are protected.

Families who tour Cedar Lake Village will find a mid-rise community that covers nearly every level of senior care under one roof, backed by a long list of amenities and a director whose name residents and families can put to a face.

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 206 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.
