Lexington Park Independent Living in Topeka, KS offers one level of care: independent living. Residents have access to 24-hour staff who are trained to respond to medical emergencies, coordinate with physicians, and arrange transportation to outside appointments as needed. Routine health monitoring such as blood-pressure checks and medication reminders can be scheduled, and every apartment is equipped with an emergency call system so residents can quickly summon help. The community’s goal is to let residents maintain autonomy while ensuring rapid medical support is always at hand.
Beyond direct medical oversight, the community provides additional wellness services designed to keep residents functioning at their highest level. Fitness classes, fall-prevention programs, and scheduled health lectures are available on site. Staff can also facilitate referrals to physical, occupational, or speech therapy providers who visit the campus. For residents who need short-term recovery support after hospitalization, temporary care plans can be created until they return to their regular routine.
Housing options range from studio to two-bedroom layouts, and not every unit includes every feature. Some accommodations offer resident parking close to the entrance, while others are nearer to indoor common areas. Apartments that allow cats are available, subject to the community’s weight limit, and select units have patios or easy access to outdoor common areas. All residents can use multiple indoor lounges and activity rooms, but availability of specific in-unit features differs.
Dining is straightforward and optional. Three meals a day are prepared on site, with menu offerings adjusted for common dietary needs such as reduced sodium or diabetic-friendly selections. Residents may choose to eat in the communal dining room, pick up meals to enjoy in their apartments, or prepare their own food if their unit has a full kitchen. Meal plans are flexible, allowing residents to opt in for only the meals they want.
Amenities and services focus on keeping residents socially and mentally active. Daily on-site programming includes exercise sessions, card clubs, and educational talks, while scheduled off-site outings might include shopping trips, cultural events, or visits to local parks and museums.
