The Regent offers an independent living setting designed for older adults who remain largely self-reliant but want the security of on-call support. Residents can arrange short-term or respite stays when needed, and a licensed speech therapist is available for those working to maintain or regain communication skills after illness or injury. Because the community does not provide around-the-clock nursing, it focuses instead on coordinating therapy and support services that help residents extend their independence safely.
Additional care features are available on site and can be scheduled as residents require them. Physical and occupational therapists visit the community regularly, and a massage therapist is on hand for pain management and relaxation. Brain Fitness powered by Dakim provides structured cognitive exercises aimed at sharpening memory and processing speed. Routine housekeeping is part of the basic service package, allowing residents to focus on recovery or wellness goals rather than daily chores.
Living quarters range from studios to larger apartment styles and may include bath tubs, ground-floor access, kitchenettes, cable or satellite TV connections, and parking for those who still drive. Some units are near outdoor common areas or the central fireplace; others sit close to the library or billiards lounge. Cats are permitted in designated apartments. Because floor plans vary, not every residence contains every feature mentioned, so it is best to verify specific inclusions during a tour.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant-style throughout the day, with an all-day dining option for flexible schedules. The kitchen can accommodate low-sodium, no-sugar, vegetarian, kosher, gluten-free, organic, and international menu requests, and guest meals are available with advance notice. Nutritional oversight is integrated into the dining program to help residents manage chronic conditions without sacrificing variety or flavor.
Residents have access to an activity center, a library and computer lounge, and a steady calendar that includes cards and pinochle clubs, bridge, book discussions, trivia games, and Wii bowling. Fitness offerings feature Forever Fit classes, stretching, tai chi, yoga and chair yoga, along with organized walking groups. Cultural and social opportunities range from art classes, quilting, choir, cooking demonstrations, and gardening club to live music, dance or theater performances, karaoke, wine tastings, happy hours, men’s club meetings, intergenerational programs, and off-site day trips. The staff also coordinates community service projects and current events discussions to keep residents engaged with the wider Wichita area.
