Homestead of Wichita is an assisted-living community that supports older adults who no longer wish to live fully independently yet do not need the intensity of nursing-home care. The community also accepts respite or short-term stays, giving family caregivers a break or allowing prospective residents to sample the setting before a longer commitment. Residents with diabetes receive monitoring and support that includes assistance with glucose management and coordination with outside medical providers when necessary.

In addition to the primary care types, the staff is available around the clock to help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and medication administration. Scheduled transportation to medical appointments, routine wellness checks, and coordination with physicians and pharmacies round out the health-related offerings. An emergency call system ties each apartment to on-site caregivers so residents can request help quickly.

Apartments are designed for safety and ease of navigation, and choices range from studio to multi-room layouts. Cats are allowed within stated weight limits, though these pet accommodations are not provided in every unit. Indoor common areas offer additional space for socializing or quiet relaxation, giving residents options beyond their private quarters.

Daily meals are prepared and served on-site, and menus are planned to support balanced nutrition. Staff members accommodate individual dietary requirements, including adjustments for diabetes, allergies, or physician-ordered restrictions. Not all dining rooms or meal services include the same features, so residents and families can review available options during a visit.

The community schedules activities on-site that include exercise classes, games, and social events, helping residents stay mentally and physically active without needing to leave the property.
