Rockhill Manor Assisted Living provides assisted living, memory care, nursing care, and respite care in Kansas City, MO. Assisted living includes help with activities of daily living, while memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Nursing care provides clinical support, and respite care offers a short stay when a person’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. The community may be a good fit for adults of all ages diagnosed with chronic mental illness who need supported housing and whose care needs may change over time.

A Walk Score of 94 out of 100 makes the area a walker’s paradise, so daily errands do not require a car. Someone who no longer drives can still get out independently for those errands. There are organized daily activities as well.
Medical access includes a nurse practitioner, psychiatrist, psychologist, podiatrist, and optometrist, giving residents several types of medical and behavioral health care. On site X rays and labs allow those services to be provided at the community, while rehabilitation services provide therapy without arranging transportation elsewhere. Transportation to medical appointments can also be arranged. Medicaid and Medicare are accepted, with Medicaid helping when savings may not cover a long stay, while Medicare generally applies to short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence.
