Brookdale Hays in Hays, Kansas, operates as an Assisted Living community with an emphasis on onsite medical care. Residents who live with diabetes benefit from daily monitoring and diabetic-specific support, while a Speech Therapist is available for communication or swallowing needs. A structured Mental Wellness Program addresses emotional health, and respite stays are accepted for short-term recovery or caregiver relief. The staff is experienced in supporting people living with moderate dementia, and 24-hour security and staffing help ensure a prompt response to any change in condition. Onsite nurses, hospice professionals, occupational and physical therapists, medication management services, and coordinated memory care enable most residents to receive comprehensive treatment without leaving the property.
Daily living assistance is provided at whatever level is needed. Caregivers can deliver full help with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they accommodate a range of mobility situations through walker support, wheelchair transport, standby supervision, or a one-person transfer. Incontinence care, routine laundry and dry-cleaning service, and monitoring for ambulatory or non-ambulatory conditions are part of standard care. The community is also equipped to transition residents smoothly between assisted and independent living or hospice services as health circumstances evolve.
Accommodations include private or companion suites, some of which feature a kitchenette for light meal preparation. Utilities, maintenance, and emergency response systems are built in, yet layouts vary; not every apartment offers the same storage space, bathroom design, or kitchenette configuration, so confirming details during a tour is advised.
Dining is handled by a culinary team that serves three meals each day in a communal dining room. Dietitian-approved menus can be modified for diabetic, low-sodium, or other physician-ordered needs, and healthy snacks are available between meals. Residents who wish to prepare personal favorites may make use of their in-unit kitchenette, but the staff manages grocery purchasing, cooking, and cleanup so mealtime remains worry-free.
Community amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible pathways, keypad-secured entry, and reliable internet access. A barber and beauty shop, wellness center, library, fireside living room, and flatscreen TV lounges provide varied places to gather, while communal gardens, a greenhouse, porch, and hot tub offer outdoor or relaxation options. Additional features such as a piano, private dining room for family events, meeting rooms, and onsite postal services round out the service package.
