Overland Park Place in Overland Park, KS is an Independent Living community that concentrates on keeping routine medical services close at hand. Residents have access to on-site speech, occupational, and physical therapists, which can assist with rehabilitation after illness or injury or help maintain current abilities. Hospice care services are also available on the premises for those who may eventually require end-of-life support. While no specialized dementia program is offered, the community does maintain a consistent focus on preventive health and ongoing therapeutic support.

Daily oversight is provided through background-checked staff members, an activity director, and 24-hour staff coverage with security personnel on site. Residents can summon assistance through an in-room pull-cord system, and an overnight shift remains on duty—though asleep—to be awakened if needed. Help with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting is available for those who need it, and staff are trained to assist with transfers that may involve a walker or wheelchair. These personal support services allow individuals to remain in an Independent Living setting even as limited physical challenges arise.

Apartment styles vary and may include features such as private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and housekeeping and scheduled laundry services, though not every unit offers every feature. Independent Living residents benefit from community-provided housekeeping and laundry so they can focus on their own schedules and interests rather than routine chores.

Dining is flexible, offering a set menu as well as made-to-order options three times a day. Snacks are available between meals, and residents can request in-room dining when preferred or reserve the private dining room to entertain family and friends. Vegetarian choices are included at all meals to accommodate dietary preferences.
