Meadowbrook in Prairie Village, Kansas, functions as an assisted-living community with a clinical program capable of addressing both routine and complex health needs. Licensed nurses manage medication regimens for residents under 60 as well as older adults, and the team is trained to care for diabetics who use oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale dosing. Advanced dementia support allows residents to remain in place as cognitive changes progress, with behavioral monitoring and tailored care plans in place. On-site podiatry rounds reduce trips off campus and support ongoing foot-health management, especially important for individuals with diabetes or limited mobility.
The community maintains continuous clinical oversight with an RN or LPN on site around the clock, backed by an additional nurse on call. All employees undergo background checks, and both awake and asleep staff cover the night shift to respond to door alarms, pull cords, and personal emergency response systems. Front and rear fences, 24-hour security, and monitored entries help prevent wandering. Care aides can provide some physical assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, adjusting support levels as residents’ needs change. Mobility services accommodate walkers, wheelchairs, standby supervision, one- or two-person transfers, full Hoyer-lift transfers, and bed-bound care, allowing most residents to remain in the same apartment even if strength declines.
Apartments at Meadowbrook include several floor plans, some featuring private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate. Not every unit offers every feature, so prospective residents should confirm availability. Routine housekeeping and on-site maintenance are provided, relieving residents of chores and repair work.
Three daily meals are served from a set menu in the dining room, and the kitchen also offers on-order alternatives along with snacks throughout the day. The culinary team coordinates diet modifications for diabetes, low-sodium needs, texture changes, and other physician-directed requirements. For those in the independent-living section, weekly housekeeping, laundry service, and a monthly meal plan add convenience while still letting residents plan the rest of their days independently.
The campus includes resident parking, wheelchair-accessible pathways, stair glides, and scheduled transportation, while public transit stops are close by. Amenities range from a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, wellness center, and movie room to landscaped communal gardens and regular on-site religious services. Pets are allowed, though it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
