Overview of Lakeview Village

Under one license in Lenexa, KS, Lakeview Village offers skilled nursing, independent living, nursing home, and assisted living. Independent living is private quarters with the community’s services attached and nothing daily on top of them. Assisted living adds help with bathing, dressing, and medication.

Payment here runs three ways, and a family uses whichever fits. Medicare pays after a qualifying hospital stay, and only for the skilled part of it. Medicaid becomes the question when savings will not carry a long stay, and private money covers what neither of those reaches.

The Aquatics Center, the Fitness Center, the Bistro Cafe, and the Art Gallery are all named programs. Swimming, exercise, a coffee, and something to look at are each accounted for.

Rehabilitation Services are named too, and a resident may bring a pet.
