Lexington Park in Topeka delivers assisted-living with an emphasis on consistent medical oversight. Licensed nurses monitor residents with diabetes, assist with blood-glucose checks, and coordinate dietary adjustments as ordered by physicians. The community also accepts respite or short-term stays, giving caregivers a temporary break while ensuring visitors receive the same supervision and medication management as full-time residents.
Beyond those specific clinical services, Lexington Park’s care team supports daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and mobility, with staff on site around the clock. Care plans are reviewed routinely and adjusted as residents’ needs change. An emergency call system connects each apartment to caregivers, and scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments to keep residents on track with external providers.
Accommodations include studio and one-bedroom apartments equipped with kitchenettes in select units, while every residence is air conditioned. Some apartments feature wheelchair-accessible or roll-in showers, and common areas are designed to be handicap accessible. Residents can visit the library for quiet reading, relax in the indoor atrium, or gather around the piano or organ for impromptu music. Cats are allowed, and an outdoor patio offers additional space for fresh air. Because layouts vary, not all apartments contain every listed feature, so it is best to confirm availability during a visit.
Meals are prepared three times daily and served restaurant-style, with attention to diabetic guidelines when needed. Guests are welcome to join residents for meals, and seasonal barbecues or picnics are organized on the grounds when weather permits. For residents who prefer to cook light snacks, the in-unit kitchenettes provide that option, and hydration stations are located in the common areas.
Residents may spend free time tending raised garden beds, attending on-site activities, or enjoying scheduled holiday parties. The community also brings in live music, dance, and theater performances to keep entertainment varied. Regular programming is designed to promote social engagement and give residents multiple ways to stay active without leaving the property.
