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. The two nursing designations are the ones under which licensed clinical care happens in the building.

A household weighing this place is weighing four levels at once, which is what the single license buys. There are 158 beds here, and 94.9 percent of them are spoken for on an average day.

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.

Somewhat walkable, the area has a Walk Score of 61 behind it. Richard Alan Turley Jr. is the administrator for the City of Lenexa.
