Overview of Guest Home Estates VII

Guest Home Estates VII is an assisted living community in Garnett, KS, with 30 beds. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, toileting, eating, and grooming while supporting a resident’s daily routine. The smaller size limits the number of residents receiving care, and Medicaid acceptance gives eligible residents a payment option when personal funds may not cover the full cost of care.

Private rooms and bathrooms give residents personal living space with bathing facilities in their own room. Pets are allowed, so residents may be able to continue living with a companion animal. Special diets can be accommodated with the daily chef prepared meals, and daily and weekly social and recreational activities provide scheduled ways to spend time with others.

Local transportation is available for community travel. Religious worship services support residents who wish to continue attending services. A Walk Score of 52 places the area in the somewhat walkable range, meaning some errands can be done on foot, and a resident who no longer drives may be able to reach certain destinations independently.

Guest Home Estates VII is administered by Johnna Greathouse and operated by Gem Associates. The community may be a good fit for someone who needs assistance with daily activities, can use Medicaid, and wants to keep a pet.

Overview of Kearny County Hospital

Kearny County Hospital provides nursing home, skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory care in Lakin, KS. Skilled nursing offers licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while assisted living helps with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication management. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for a resident who may be at risk of wandering.

Having several care levels can suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since a move to a different level of care can happen within the community. With 35 beds, Kearny County Hospital may be a good fit for someone who prefers a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know each other. The area’s Walk Score is 37, making it car-dependent, so most errands require a car or ride and a resident who no longer drives would need transportation for those trips. Robin Allaman serves as administrator, and Kearny County operates the hospital.

Overview of Locust Grove Village

There are six care types at Locust Grove Village in LA Crosse, KS, and they are adult day care, respite care, independent living, assisted living, nursing home, and skilled nursing. Assisted living is daily support with medication, bathing, and dressing. Coverage by licensed nursing holds steady through the night as well as the day, which is what a resident with ongoing clinical needs is there for. The daytime version is where going home at night is the point, and Adult Day and Respite is the named program carrying it.

A caregiver’s own travel or recovery is what the short stay gets arranged around. Six levels under one license mean a resident moving up a level is not moving out. The 38 beds here keep the number of people a resident sees regularly small.

Short-Term Rehab and Rehabilitation Services are both named, so a resident recovering from an illness or an injury does the therapy during the stay. The area rates somewhat walkable, with a Walk Score of 54. Charlotte Rathke is the administrator, and Rush County Nursing Home Society operates the community.

Overview of Fountainview Living

Fountainview Living provides assisted living, nursing home, skilled nursing, hospice care, palliative care, and respite care with a 50-bed setting in Rose Hill, Kansas. The community provides comfort and symptom management for terminally ill residents, as well as those with serious illnesses. Temporary stays are also welcome, particularly those whose usual caregiver needs time away.

Currently, occupancy is at 70%, with an average length of stay of 126 days. Moreover, total nurse staffing is 4 hours and 11 minutes per resident per day, which represents the nursing time allocated to each resident across the day. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, so families can use the option that fits the resident’s eligibility and financial resources.

The community is owned by Fountainview Realco, with Kelvin Kengari serving as administrator. Pets are allowed, so a resident can keep an animal companion with them.

Overview of Sandstone Heights Nursing Home

Independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and nursing home care all happen at Sandstone Heights Nursing Home in Little River, KS. At 36 beds, the whole place is one nursing floor, and a licensed cover reaches all of it, whatever the hour. Assisted living, the middle rung, lists dressing, medication, and bathing among the tasks it assists with.

Independent living attaches no daily care at all, just private living and the services a community brings. A resident whose needs grow can climb that ladder without changing address. Thirty-six beds also make this a smaller home, so the roster of names to learn stays short for both staff and residents.

Rice County Hospital Dist 2 operates the community, and Trey Look is the administrator. The building gives each resident 4 hours and 45 minutes of nursing daily. Three payers each answer part of the bill; Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

Medicare pays for the short skilled stretch that follows after leaving the hospital. Medicaid becomes the question once money for a long stay has come from somewhere else, and private funds cover whatever falls outside both, paid directly.

Rehabilitation services are available on-site, while transportation covers trips out of the building. Activities run to Bible Study, Church Service, Sing-A-Longs, arts and crafts, pet therapy, and shopping trips.

Contact Sandstone Heights Nursing Home

Overview of Crestview Nursing & Residential Living

Crestview Nursing & Residential Living in Seneca, Kansas, provides assisted living, residential care, long-term nursing, and short-term skilled nursing. Residents in assisted living receive assistance with routine daily tasks, while round-the-clock licensed nurses manage ongoing medical needs. The multi-tiered setup lets individuals age in place as their health requirements change.

Sara Sourk serves as administrator for the 34-bed community, which opened in 2001 to offer a smaller, close-knit environment. Staff log an average of 4 hours and 46 minutes of direct daily nursing care per resident. Features include a physical therapy and rehabilitation center, a chapel for religious services, a salon and barber shop, and a central outdoor courtyard.

Free local transportation helps residents travel to medical appointments, salon visits, and town shopping trips, while a 58 walk score allows for occasional errands on foot. Pet-friendly policies enable residents to keep companion animals, and accepted payment options cover Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

Individuals researching local care choices can contact Crestview Nursing & Residential Living to confirm room availability, explore payment structures, or set up a campus visit.

Overview of Brewster Place

Brewster Place is a sprawling senior living campus in Topeka’s South/Southeast 1 neighborhood, and it covers about as much ground as a facility can. Nursing home, assisted living, independent living, memory care, respite care, skilled nursing, it’s all under one roof. This particular listing is for the licensed nursing home piece of that campus. A hundred forty one beds, 74 percent occupied, 105 of them filled right now.

The average resident sticks around for 202 days, which lands somewhere between a short rehab stint and a genuine long-term stay. That’s usually a sign a facility handles both kinds of residents without one crowding out the other. The City of Topeka owns the place, Tyrone Wilkens administers it day to day, and Mary Blubaugh sits at the top as CEO.

Walkability here is decent by nursing home standards. A Walk Score of 56 puts it in moderately walkable territory, so some errands are doable on foot, though you’re still going to want a car for most of them. Staffing includes RNs, LPNs, and nurse aides, and total nursing care runs about six and a half hours per resident per day, a figure that reflects genuine round-the-clock coverage rather than a skeleton crew.

The amenity list reads like an actual campus: fitness center, library, salon and spa, outdoor space to sit in when the weather cooperates. There’s also Maintenance Free Living for residents who want independence without the upkeep, Catered Living, a dedicated Rehabilitation Center, and even an Art Wall Galleries program for anyone who wants to keep making things. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, so payment flexibility isn’t really a barrier here.

Kansas inspectors check in periodically, and recent reviews touched on pharmacy services, resident rights, infection control, and documentation, the same handful of areas regulators tend to look at everywhere. Whatever came up was resolved and corrected. Between the campus size, the staffing hours, and a resident population that clearly sticks around, Brewster Place reads as an established, full-continuum operation built to handle residents at very different stages of care.

Overview of The Healthcare Resort of Kansas City

The Healthcare Resort of Kansas City provides assisted living, nursing home, and skilled nursing care in Kansas City, KS. Assisted living supports daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while residents retain their own apartment; nursing home and skilled nursing care provide licensed nursing on site around the clock for people who need ongoing clinical support.

The community has 70 beds, and its range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time because assisted living and nursing care are available within the same community. Total nurse staffing is 4h 28m per resident per day, representing the documented daily nurse time assigned to each resident’s care. Payment options include Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, giving families several listed ways to cover care; the community may be a good fit for someone who needs assisted living support now and may later require skilled nursing care without changing communities.

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.
