Brookdale Tallgrass in Wichita, Kansas, delivers Assisted Living with an emphasis on medical oversight. Residents benefit from 24-hour supervision, staff trained in memory-care techniques appropriate for moderate dementia, coordination with outside health-care providers, an on-site mental-wellness program, scheduled physical therapy and targeted diabetes management. These services create a structured environment designed to keep day-to-day health concerns from escalating.
Security personnel and direct-care staff remain on site around the clock, and a licensed nursing team oversees incontinence care, ambulatory support, wound treatment, hospice coordination, occupational therapy and detailed medication management. Caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting, and they are trained to perform walker, wheelchair, standby or one-person transfers. Routine laundry and dry-cleaning pickup is available so residents do not have to leave the building for basic garment care.
Apartments offer practical features such as private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls and cable hookups, though not every unit contains every feature. Residents select the layout that best matches their budget and mobility needs, and maintenance is handled by on-site staff to reduce household chores.
Three meals are prepared daily, with low-sodium, kosher, vegetarian, gluten-free and other physician-ordered diet modifications available at each seating. An all-day dining option and guest meals increase flexibility, and special menus are prepared for holidays or community events. Independent-living residents on campus can purchase a monthly meal plan and may also arrange for medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping and personal laundry service.
Common-area amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible entrances, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, landscaped grounds with walking paths, communal gardens, a greenhouse for gardening projects, a therapy room, billiards table, fireside living room, piano, library, postal kiosk, private dining room and game room.
