Bishop Spencer Place in Kansas City offers three distinct levels of care—Independent Living for residents who want maintenance-free living, Assisted Living for those who need help with daily activities, and a secure Memory Care program for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. These care types are designed to let residents transition smoothly as their needs change, minimizing moves within the community.
The community supplements these core offerings with clinical options such as short-term rehabilitation stays, respite services for family caregivers, and targeted diabetes management. An emergency call system is installed to summon staff at any hour, and licensed nurses are on site to coordinate ambulatory and incontinence care, oversee medication management, and participate in continuing care planning. Family and resident counseling services are available when health changes arise, and on-site laundry keeps clothing and linens handled without leaving the building.
Living spaces range from studio and efficiency apartments to larger floor plans, each featuring utilities, cable TV, phone service, and Wi-Fi. Select residences include washers and dryers, window treatments, or views of the outdoor garden areas. Residents have access to parking, landscaped courtyards, and walking paths, and many units are pet friendly. A library, computer lab, and dedicated spaces like the Midwest Village, Nicholas Conservatory, and Anderson Gardens add variety to daily life. Not every accommodation includes every listed feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific details during a visit.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily, with a restaurant-style dining room that allows residents to choose seating times and menu selections. Specialized diets can be accommodated, and staff monitors nutritional intake for those in Assisted Living or Memory Care who require it. Meal service is included in the monthly fee for all care levels, reducing daily chores for residents.
Recreational amenities include an activity center for group events, dedicated clubs and community groups, a swimming pool for low-impact exercise, and structured arts and crafts sessions. Health and wellness programs offer fitness classes and educational seminars, while scheduled social outings keep residents connected to greater Kansas City. These amenities are designed to support physical health, mental engagement, and social interaction for residents in every level of care.
