Cedarhurst of Topeka provides two levels of professional support: assisted living and memory care. In the assisted living neighborhood, licensed nurses oversee medication management, routine health assessments, and coordination with outside physicians, therapy providers, and pharmacies. Residents who move into the memory care program receive the same clinical oversight, supplemented with additional cognitive assessments, behavior monitoring, and structured daily routines designed for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Both care levels have staff on-site 24/7, and a registered nurse is available around the clock for health concerns that arise outside of regular clinic hours.
Beyond direct medical services, Cedarhurst of Topeka includes help with daily living tasks such as bathing, dressing, mobility assistance, and continence support. Personalized care plans are reviewed regularly and adjusted as needs change. The community provides scheduled transportation to local medical appointments, on-site therapy services arranged through third-party providers, and an emergency call system that links residents to staff at any time of day. A secured courtyard and keyed entries add an extra measure of safety for individuals in the memory care neighborhood.
Accommodations range from studio apartments to one-bedroom suites, with options for private or companion living. Units may include kitchenettes, walk-in showers with grab bars, individual climate controls, and emergency call pendants, although not all accommodations have all these features. Weekly housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are included, and residents have access to shared lounges, activity rooms, and outdoor seating areas for visiting with family or relaxing between scheduled programs.
The culinary team prepares three meals daily, served restaurant-style in the main dining room, and lighter fare is available throughout the day in common areas. Menus rotate regularly and accommodate physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium, diabetic-friendly, or mechanical-soft, and staff are trained to assist residents who need help cutting food or using adaptive utensils. Special events like holiday dinners and themed gatherings are integrated into the dining calendar, and family members may reserve private space for celebrations or join loved ones during regular meal service with advance notice.
