Montgomery Place in Independence, KS offers assisted-living care that places medical oversight at the center of its service model. Licensed nurses are on site around the clock, providing medication management, wound care, and ongoing monitoring of chronic conditions such as diabetes or hypertension. Individualized care plans are developed in cooperation with residents’ physicians, and a 24-hour emergency call system links every apartment directly to clinical staff. The community can coordinate laboratory work, rehabilitation therapies, and short-term home health visits when ordered by a medical provider, helping residents remain on campus while receiving necessary treatments.
Beyond direct medical services, staff members assist with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, toileting, and mobility. Caregivers perform scheduled safety checks, escort residents to meals or activities when needed, and arrange transportation to off-site medical appointments. A full calendar of wellness programming, including exercise classes and health education, is aimed at maintaining strength and balance. The team also offers reminders for hydration, nutrition, and personal routines, while social workers are available to help residents and families navigate insurance, advance directives, and care transitions.
Housing options include studio, one-bedroom, and companion suites. All layouts come with barrier-free bathrooms, grab bars, and emergency pull cords, and many units add features such as kitchenettes, walk-in closets, or patio access, though not every apartment includes every feature. Housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are provided, and residents may furnish their spaces to their own taste. Pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
The culinary team prepares three meals daily in a central kitchen that can accommodate physician-ordered diets, food allergies, and texture modifications. Residents dine restaurant-style in a spacious common room, with the option of room service for those recovering from illness or preferring privacy. Snacks and beverages are available throughout the day, and family members can reserve a private dining area for special occasions. Menu planning incorporates resident feedback, ensuring that familiar favorites and regional dishes appear alongside lighter, health-oriented choices.
