Brewster Place in Topeka operates as a continuing-care-retirement-community, allowing residents to move through levels of support without leaving the campus. The community can accommodate individuals who are largely independent as well as those who require extensive daily assistance, with nursing oversight available around the clock and care plans that adapt as residents’ needs change.
Medical services emphasize condition-specific support. Diabetes care is available, including routine glucose monitoring, medication administration, and coordination with the resident’s personal physicians to adjust insulin or diet as needed. Licensed nurses are on-site to respond to urgent health issues, manage medications, and track vital signs, helping to reduce unnecessary hospital visits and maintain consistent health records for each resident.
Accommodations range from private apartments to companion suites, and many have access to landscaped outdoor areas that can be used for walking, gardening, or simply getting fresh air. Each unit includes fundamental safety measures such as emergency call systems and accessible bathrooms, though not all residences contain every feature or the same amount of square footage, so prospective residents should verify specific layouts during a tour.
Dining is provided through a meals-included program that serves three daily meals prepared to meet varied nutritional requirements. Diabetic-friendly menu options are standard, and staff dietitians can coordinate personalized meal plans when prescribed by a physician. While most residents take meals in the central dining room, tray service can be arranged for those recovering from illness or preferring to dine in their own space.
Residents have access to an activity center that hosts exercise classes, hobby groups, educational sessions, and social gatherings. Transportation for scheduled outings, basic housekeeping, and laundry services are also available, giving residents practical support in day-to-day living while encouraging continued engagement with the broader community.
