Heritage Health Care in Chanute, KS provides assisted-living services designed for adults who need daily help while remaining as independent as possible. Licensed nurses oversee medication management, coordinate with physicians, and monitor vital signs. Short-term respite stays are accepted, giving family caregivers a break while residents receive the same round-the-clock supervision and support offered to full-time residents.
In addition to routine nursing oversight, direct-care staff help with bathing, dressing, mobility, and continence. Care plans are reviewed regularly and adjusted when health conditions change. An emergency call system connects residents to staff at any hour, and scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments in the Chanute area. Rehabilitation therapies can be arranged on site through outside providers when ordered by a physician.
Apartments vary in layout, and not every unit includes every feature, but many offer in-unit washers and dryers, space for approved pets, and access to outdoor sitting areas. A shared library and computer lounge gives residents an option for quiet reading or online tasks without leaving the building.
Three daily meals are prepared in the community kitchen, with menus reviewed for balanced nutrition. Between meals, staff set out healthy snacks, and vegetarian choices are available at each sitting. Special diets can be accommodated with advance notice from the resident’s physician or dietitian.
Residents have access to an activity center where scheduled programs include arts and crafts, live entertainment, and group exercise classes that align with the community’s health and wellness goals.
