Homestead of Crestview is an assisted-living community in Wichita, KS that centers its services on day-to-day support and medical oversight for older adults who value a residential setting. The staff is trained to assist residents who live with diabetes, including regular blood-glucose monitoring, maintaining medication schedules such as insulin administration, and coordinating with outside healthcare providers to keep treatment plans current.
Beyond direct diabetes management, caregivers are on site 24/7 to handle routine activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and mobility assistance. Each resident receives an individualized service plan that is reviewed and adjusted as needs change, and emergency response systems connect residents quickly to on-duty personnel. Transportation arrangements for medical appointments and pharmacy coordination are also standard, helping residents maintain continuity of care.
Apartments at Homestead of Crestview vary in layout and features; some offer kitchenettes, private baths, ground-floor access, and air conditioning, while others include extras like cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, or proximity to indoor common areas such as the library, piano lounge, and TV room. Handicap-accessible units and resident parking, including uncovered spaces, are available for those who drive. Outdoor common areas, meeting rooms, and patios extend living space, and cats are permitted in select units. Because floor plans differ, not every accommodation includes every listed feature.
Meals are prepared on site, with three daily selections designed to align with individual dietary requirements, including carbohydrate-controlled options for residents managing diabetes. The culinary team can provide pureed meals when needed, and room service is available for anyone recovering from illness or who prefers to dine privately. Guests may purchase meals when visiting, and periodic barbecues or picnics move dining outdoors for a change of pace.
Residents have access to a range of amenities and scheduled services that include a Jacuzzi, raised garden beds for light gardening, and daily on-site activities. Stretching classes, chair yoga, and standard yoga sessions help maintain flexibility, while live music, birthday celebrations, and holiday parties add social variety. Bible study groups meet regularly, and staff coordinate additional events so residents can choose the level of participation that matches their interests.
