Rolling Hills Assisted Living in Topeka is licensed for assisted-living care and is equipped to support residents who need help with daily activities as well as individuals seeking short-term respite stays. Staff members monitor health changes, coordinate with outside physicians, and provide focused diabetes management that includes blood-glucose checks, insulin administration, and diet oversight. A 24-hour emergency response system and on-site medication management add additional layers of medical oversight for residents who require them.
Beyond clinical services, caregivers assist with dressing, grooming, mobility, and housekeeping, allowing residents to maintain routine and independence while receiving necessary support. Scheduled transportation to medical appointments, regular wellness assessments, and coordination of therapy services are available. Families are kept in the loop through care conferences and routine status updates, and the community’s staffing plan ensures help is accessible at any hour of the day.
Apartments are designed with aging adults in mind. Most units are on the ground floor, and select layouts feature wheelchair-accessible showers, full bath tubs, or kitchenettes for light meal preparation. Central air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and in-room emergency call buttons are standard, while certain apartments add perks such as views of the central fireplace or proximity to the library. Cats are permitted in designated units, and resident parking, including uncovered spaces, is offered for those who still drive. Common areas include a TV lounge, piano, indoor gathering spaces, and an outdoor patio. Not every accommodation contains every listed feature, so prospective residents should confirm availability during a visit.
Meals are prepared on site three times a day, with attention to therapeutic diets such as low- or no-sodium options for residents managing blood pressure or heart conditions. Cookouts and scheduled BBQs or picnics are organized when weather permits, and guests can join residents for meals with advance notice. A private dining room can be reserved for family celebrations or special occasions, allowing residents to mark milestones without leaving the community.
Residents have access to a structured activity calendar that includes on-site stretching classes, game room hours, holiday and birthday parties, and live music performances. These events aim to promote social engagement, cognitive stimulation, and physical movement, all without requiring residents to arrange outside transportation. The staff encourages participation but also respects individual preferences, offering a balance of scheduled group activities and open recreation time.
