Chisholm Place Memory Care in Wichita, Kansas is a community built solely around memory care. Care plans are individualized for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, and short-term respite stays are offered for families who need temporary support. A secured environment limits wandering and promotes safety while licensed nurses oversee daily care and coordinate with physicians when adjustments are needed.
Medical oversight is strengthened by on-site access to a broad range of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, physical, occupational and speech therapists, as well as dentists and podiatrists. The team is trained in diabetes management, incontinence care, ambulatory assistance, medication management and hospice coordination. Because the building is designed specifically to accommodate memory loss, therapeutic programs and environmental cues are integrated into every corridor and common space.
Private and companion suites are available, and many rooms feature amenities such as wheelchair-accessible showers, in-room climate control, cable or satellite TV and Wi-Fi. Select accommodations may also include views of outdoor areas, a central fireplace in shared lounges, piano or organ access and on-site parking; features vary by unit, so families are encouraged to verify availability during a tour.
Dining follows an all-day service model that allows residents to eat on their own schedule while still receiving balanced, physician-approved meals. The culinary team prepares options for vegetarian, gluten-free, low-sodium and no-sugar diets, and guest meals can be arranged so visitors can dine with loved ones.
Residents have access to an activity center, library and computer lounge, indoor and outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds and a swimming pool. Daily programming may include fitness classes, live music, karaoke, reminiscence and other sensory-based sessions, as well as intergenerational visits, clubs, birthday parties and off-site social outings. These amenities are designed to keep residents engaged, support cognitive health and encourage routine social interaction.
