Overview of Via Christi Village Pittsburg Ks

Mental Health and Recovery is a named program at Via Christi Village Pittsburg Ks, which is not standard equipment in a 96-bed Kansas community. Medical Care, Short Stay and Long Term Care, and Discharge Planning round out the program list, that last one shaping how a temporary stay actually ends rather than leaving the transition to chance.

Assisted living is provided here, and it is used to cover help with daily tasks. Nursing home care and skilled nursing are also offered, with licensed nurses kept on site at all hours of the day and night. Rehabilitation therapy is included, and it is arranged to run alongside both kinds of nursing care so that recovery is supported while regular care continues.

Palliative care and hospice care are given for comfort‑focused needs. Respite care is provided to fill a different kind of gap, one that sometimes is not planned for. A burst pipe may force someone out of a house, a renovation may take longer than expected, or a home may simply not be livable for several weeks. In those cases, a short stay is arranged here.

The license covers 96 beds, and at the last count 74 of those beds were occupied. The surrounding area has been given a walk score of 79. That score places it in the very walkable range. Errands are often able to be finished on foot, which matters for residents who have stopped driving. Shops, services, or a café can be reached without asking for a ride. Amy Bailey serves as administrator, and Kfar Habor operates the community.

Overview of Diversicare of Larned

Diversicare of Larned offers nursing home and skilled nursing, assisted living, hospice care, and memory care in Larned, Kansas. Nursing home and skilled nursing provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while assisted living helps with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication management. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Hospice care focuses on comfort and support for someone nearing the end of life.

The combination of care types may suit a resident whose needs could grow over time without requiring a move to a different community. Short Stay Rehabilitation and Complex Medical Care are specific programs. Rehabilitation services support temporary recovery after an illness, injury, or hospital stay, while complex medical care addresses more involved health needs.

The community has 60 beds. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted; Medicare can cover short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence, while Medicaid may help when a family’s savings do not cover a long stay. Total nurse staffing is 4 hours 19 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nurse staffing time allocated to each resident.

A Walk Score of 73 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot. A resident who no longer drives can still get out independently for routine errands. Bryan Stacey is the administrator, and Diversicare Larned Property operates the community.

Village Shalom Inc

5500 W 123Rd Street, Overland Park, KS 66209
Overview of Village Shalom

Village Shalom in Overland Park, KS, offers nursing home care and skilled nursing. Four more levels ride on the same license, namely respite care, memory care, assisted living, and independent living. The daily tasks are what assisted living takes care of, while independent living hands the day back to the resident, with the community’s services still attached.

Memory care is secured space with supervision inside it. The skilled nursing designation covers licensed clinical care in the building, and the nursing home designation covers the same nursing on an open-ended basis. Short stays are taken here too, under the respite designation, when a household’s caregiver has to step back for a while.

Of 66 beds, 98.5 percent are occupied on an average day. Nursing time per resident is 6 hours and 7 minutes a day. With six levels licensed here, somebody whose needs deepen changes what they receive rather than where they live.

Three payment routes are taken, among them Medicare and Medicaid, and a family’s own money the third. The administrator here is Jamie Paredes. Rehabilitation Services are named, and a pet is welcome to come.

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.
