Santa Marta in Olathe is a continuing care retirement community that covers the full spectrum of aging-related support, from independent living through higher levels of assistance. Residents can access on-site physicians, structured diabetes management, and licensed speech therapy. Short-term respite stays are available for individuals recovering from illness or surgery, and they can be arranged with the same clinical oversight as long-term residencies, ensuring consistency in treatment and monitoring.
Additional safeguards are built into daily life. The community maintains 24-hour staffing, and every residence is connected to an emergency call system that alerts trained personnel at any time of day or night. A secured perimeter controls entry and exit, and fire safety is addressed through a comprehensive sprinkler system installed throughout the property.
Housing options range from one-bedroom layouts to larger floor plans, with features such as individually controlled heating and air conditioning, complimentary Wi-Fi, and air-conditioned common spaces. Some units include outdoor patios, access to landscaped grounds, or proximity to the central fireplace and fitness center, while others do not. Outdoor gardens, convenient parking, and designated areas for small pets or cats are available in select residences—prospective residents should verify which features apply to the specific apartment they are considering.
Dining is handled by a professional chef who prepares three daily meals, and an all-day dining program allows residents to eat on their own schedule. Those who wish to celebrate milestones with friends or family can reserve a private dining room, ensuring gatherings stay on campus without sacrificing privacy or service quality.
Residents have multiple ways to stay engaged. Indoor and outdoor walking paths, an activity center, and a swimming pool support regular exercise, while water aerobics, art classes, and a gardening club add variety. Social calendars include clubs and community groups, on-site activities, library and computer lounge use, birthday parties, and scheduled social outings. Community service programs encourage involvement beyond the campus, rounding out a routine that balances wellness and recreation.
