Meridian Rehabilitation and Health Care Center in Wichita, KS is a skilled nursing facility that concentrates on consistent, licensed care for residents who need ongoing medical oversight. The center provides round-the-clock nursing support, coordinating closely with physicians, therapists, and pharmacy partners to keep care plans current. Short-term respite care is available for families who need temporary relief, giving residents the same access to professional nursing, medication administration, and rehabilitative services that long-term residents receive.

In addition to direct medical care, the staff coordinates physical, occupational, and speech therapy on site, helping residents maintain or regain functional abilities after illness or surgery. Care plans are reviewed regularly, and the interdisciplinary team adjusts goals based on measurable progress. Wound care management, pain control, and help with activities of daily living are delivered under strict safety protocols, and the nursing team remains on call for emergent needs.

Accommodations include a mix of private and shared rooms, each designed with basic safety features such as grab bars and emergency call systems; some rooms also have individual climate controls, in-room showers, or additional storage space, but not all units offer every feature. Housekeeping and laundry services are handled by the facility team, and maintenance staff address repairs to minimize disruptions.

Meals are prepared on site and served in a common dining room where staff can assist residents who need help eating. Menus are developed to meet general nutritional standards, and therapeutic diets—such as low-sodium, diabetic, or mechanical soft—are provided when ordered by a physician. Snacks and hydration rounds occur between meals, but menu variety and dining times can differ based on clinical recommendations and resident preferences.

Residents have access to a library and computer lounge for reading, internet use, and email communication. A daily schedule of recreational and social opportunities encourages participation in games, crafts, and group discussions, while the activity center hosts exercise classes and special events organized by the life enrichment staff.
