River Bend Senior Living in Great Bend, Kansas operates as an assisted-living community. Residents who need help with routine activities of daily living receive support from staff around the clock, and the community can also accept individuals who require focused diabetes management. For families seeking temporary placement, the property offers respite and short-term stays, allowing residents to benefit from the same care structure without a long-term commitment.
On-site clinical services are designed to reduce the need for outside appointments. Medication management is handled by trained staff who coordinate ordering, administration, and documentation. The community cares for residents with incontinence, offers ambulatory assistance for those who use mobility aids, and provides hospice coordination so that end-of-life services can be delivered in familiar surroundings.
Apartments and common areas are air-conditioned, and many units are designed for handicap accessibility. Some accommodations feature a central fireplace, access to outdoor areas, or space for a resident’s small pet, while others do not include every feature, so prospective residents are encouraged to confirm specific details during a tour. Onsite parking is available, and a piano or organ in a common room supports musical activities.
Daily meals are prepared by the culinary staff and served in a communal dining room. Resident dietary needs and doctor-ordered restrictions are accommodated, and guests can purchase meals and dine alongside their family members.
Amenities include a library with computer access, an activity center that hosts crafts and exercise classes, and scheduled social outings into the Great Bend area. Residents can participate in birthday parties, attend live music performances, and make use of an outdoor swimming pool when weather permits. Outdoor areas are available for unescorted enjoyment, provided safety guidelines are followed.
