Overview of Paramount Community Living and Rehab

Paramount Community Living and Rehab provides nursing home, assisted living, independent living, and skilled nursing care in Newton, KS. Nursing home and skilled nursing services provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while assisted living supports daily tasks and independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care.

Opened in 1962, the community has 101 beds. Its multiple care levels can suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since moving to a different level of care can happen within the same community.

The Rapid Recovery program and short-term rehabilitation allow residents to receive rehabilitation services at the community during a time-limited recovery period. Respite care provides a short stay for someone whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, and restaurant-style dining lets residents and their guests choose entrées from a menu.

A Walk Score of 81 places the area in the very walkable band, meaning most errands can be completed on foot. A resident who no longer drives can still reach nearby shops, services, or cafés independently.

Paramount Community Living and Rehab accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay, giving families those payment paths for eligible care. Total nurse staffing is 6h 8m per resident/day, representing the daily hands-on nursing time assigned per resident. Gretchen Sapp serves as administrator, and Ehc Newton Realty operates the community.

Overview of Pioneer Ridge Retirement Community

Nursing time at Pioneer Ridge Retirement Community runs 4 hours and 28 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.

Schowalter Villa opened in 1961. Jeffrey Ritcha serves as administrator, and Mennonite Board Missions Char Of Ks operates the community. With 155 beds, it is a larger community, with more residents, staff and usually more programming. Creative Arts and Intergen Connection offer opportunities for creative and intergenerational activities, while short term rehabilitation provides services for temporary recovery needs.

A Walk Score of 55 makes the area somewhat walkable, so some errands can be done on foot. A resident who no longer drives may still manage some nearby trips independently. Group transportation is available for campus activities, local events and shopping, and transportation to area churches is provided each Sunday morning at no cost.
