Wheatland Nursing Center in Russell, KS provides assisted-living care that centers on maintaining residents’ health and safety. Licensed nurses oversee medication management and routine vital-sign monitoring, and individualized care plans outline each resident’s clinical needs. Staff members help with bathing, dressing, transfers, and continence support, while a nurse is on duty around the clock to respond to changes in condition. Physicians visit regularly, and arrangements can be made for laboratory work, diagnostic testing, and specialist appointments to limit the need for hospital trips.

Additional support focuses on helping residents stay as independent as possible. Certified aides are available at all times for prompt assistance, and an emergency call system connects each living space to the nursing station. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy services can be scheduled on site, and transportation is provided for off-campus medical visits. The community also offers fall-prevention programs, wellness checks, and coordination with home health or hospice services when needed.

Accommodations range from studio to one-bedroom layouts in both private and shared configurations. Rooms may include kitchenettes, individually controlled heating and air conditioning, basic cable, wireless internet, and roll-in showers, though not every unit contains every listed feature. Weekly housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance are supplied by the facility. Pets are allowed, and it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.

Residents take meals in a central dining room where three daily menus are served by staff, with snacks available between meal times. A dietitian reviews menus to provide diabetic, low-sodium, and other physician-ordered diets; mechanical soft or pureed textures can be prepared as prescribed. Meals can be delivered to a resident’s room when illness or recovery makes it necessary, but rooms without kitchenettes do not support full in-unit cooking. Staff encourage hydration and track intake for residents who need closer supervision.
