Mccrite Plaza Topeka offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care within the same campus, allowing residents to transition between levels of support without leaving the community. The care team can handle complex medical profiles, including residents who require oxygen therapy, those who are prone to elopement, younger adults under 60, and individuals with diabetes managed by oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale protocols. The Memory Care neighborhood is equipped to support advanced dementia, and special dietary needs are accommodated to maintain medical stability.

Clinical oversight is anchored by licensed RNs and LPNs on site, with a nurse on call around the clock for urgent needs. Staff undergo background checks, remain awake overnight, and respond to pull-cord alerts in each apartment. A full-time Activity Director coordinates programming, and 24-hour security personnel monitor the grounds. Podiatry services are provided on campus, reducing the need for outside appointments. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, and eating, along with partial help for toileting. Transfer support ranges from standby assistance to one-person transfers for wheelchair or walker users, helping residents maintain mobility safely.

Apartments feature a private bathroom and many include a kitchenette, individual climate controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate the space; not every unit has all of these details, so prospective residents should verify specific layouts during a tour. Independent Living residents can add medication-management monitoring, housekeeping, laundry, and a monthly meal plan to their service package, giving them the chance to choose only the help they need while preserving autonomy.

Dining services provide three daily meals with both a set menu and made-to-order options. Between meals, snacks are available, and the kitchen can adjust textures, portion sizes, sodium, carbohydrates, and other elements to meet physician-ordered diet plans, including diabetic and renal guidelines. This flexibility supports residents whose health depends on careful nutritional management.

Amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, library, internet access, and landscaped communal gardens. Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments and errands, and on-site religious services are offered for those who wish to attend. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
