Prairie Homestead Senior Living in Wichita operates as a continuing care retirement community, giving residents the option to remain on one campus even as their support needs change. This structure is designed to reduce disruptive moves by delivering independent living, assisted living, and higher-level care within the same organization.
The community accepts short-term respite stays and is prepared to assist residents who need diabetes management, including monitoring and medication support. A facility-wide sprinkler system and an emergency call system are in place to back up staff response, providing additional safeguards for day-to-day living.
Apartment layouts vary, but selections may include wall-to-wall carpet, wheelchair-accessible showers, in-unit washers and dryers, and basic utilities such as cable TV. Some residences are pet friendly, offer fireplaces, or open directly to landscaped outdoor areas; others emphasize proximity to parking or the library and computer lounge. Not every unit contains every feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific availability during a tour.
Dining services provide three daily meals prepared on site and served in a communal setting, with staff accommodating routine preferences and specialized dietary instructions. Snacks and beverages are available between meals, and the culinary team works with clinical staff as needed to support nutrition plans tied to medical conditions.
Residents have access to an activity center that hosts arts and crafts sessions, group fitness and other health and wellness programs, and scheduled social outings to local attractions and events.
