The Mapleton Andover
The Mapleton Andover is a licensed assisted living and memory care facility located at 1419 W. Central Avenue in Andover, Kansas. Administered by a community-based director and serving the Wichita metropolitan area, the center provides specialized long-term support in two residential-scale buildings designed to offer a neighborhood atmosphere.
The community operates under a state-licensed model that offers 24-hour medical oversight and personalized care for residents requiring physical and cognitive assistance. While state-licensed facilities do not participate in the federal CMS star rating system, current 2026 filings show that the facility currently maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero based on its most recent compliance surveys. Occupancy has trended upward over the last several years, with the community currently serving a growing population across its 17-bed and 20-bed residential units.
Support is provided 24/7 by a team of licensed nurses and experienced aides who manage medication administration, bathing, and mobility assistance. The clinical team coordinates with local medical service providers and in-home medical partnerships to ensure consistent healthcare delivery within the facility. Residents also have access to an on-site therapy room for functional recovery and a visiting physician for medical consultations. The staffing model emphasizes a high ratio of care providers to residents, facilitating personalized attention and rapid emergency response.
The campus features private suites equipped with full private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual climate controls, and high-speed internet. All-inclusive monthly services cover restaurant-style dining with dietitian-approved meals, weekly housekeeping, and personal laundry. Shared amenities include: Beautifully decorated common areas, a fireplace lounge, a hair salon, and private meeting rooms. A social calendar featuring bingo, card games, movie nights, and daily devotions keeps residents engaged and connected to the local community.
The facility is situated across from the Terradyne Country Club and provides scheduled transportation for residents to local medical clinics and shopping centers. Individuals seeking a smaller, family-oriented environment with specialized memory care services in the Andover area may find this community appropriate. Prospective residents should contact the administrator directly to discuss current bed availability and schedule a tour to assess the 2026 quality performance and residential-style homes firsthand.
