Overview of Pioneer Ridge Retirement Community

Nursing time at Pioneer Ridge Retirement Community runs 4 hours and 14 minutes per resident daily. That number belongs to the nursing home and skilled nursing offerings in Lawrence, Kansas, where licensed nursing works at all hours. Seventy-six beds sit under the license.

Independent living is offered, and it’s at the far end of the range: private living with community services and no daily care. Assisted living adds that daily care in terms of bathing, dressing, and medication for those who need it when those tasks become unmanageable, but before anything clinical is strictly needed. A family visiting drives to the same address no matter which level their loved one is in. That’s a selling point for a building with several levels of care: needs grow without needing to transfer facilities or towns.

Respite care is offered and covers short stays, because sometimes the regular caregiver is the one who needs taking care of. Pets are allowed, so anyone who moves in can keep theirs with them.

The Rapid Recovery program and rehabilitation services handle recovery work. Someone living alone has nobody to notice a problem at home for some hours of the day, and that isn’t a problem here. A Walk Score of 87 makes the area very walkable, which counts most for the residents who no longer drive but still can and want to go out on their own.

Deja Rhodeman is the administrator. Medicare and private pay are both accepted; Medicare covers short skilled weeks of care needed after a hospital stay rather than residence.
