Primrose Retirement Community Shawnee offers two distinct levels of care—Assisted Living and Independent Living—designed for adults who do not require specialized dementia services. Residents who choose Assisted Living receive daily medical oversight, medication administration, and routine wellness monitoring coordinated by licensed nursing professionals. Individuals in Independent Living have access to the on-site care team if health needs change, ensuring a seamless transition to greater support without leaving the community.
Beyond routine health checks, staff provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting for those who need it. Caregivers are trained in multiple transfer techniques, including walker and wheelchair support, standby or supervisory assistance, and one-person transfers. A 24-hour call system links each resident to direct help, allowing prompt response to falls, sudden illness, or any change in condition. Coordination with outside physicians, pharmacies, and therapy providers helps maintain consistent medical follow-through.
Apartments range from studios to larger one- and two-bedroom layouts. Many include kitchenettes, walk-in showers with grab bars, individual climate controls, and emergency pull cords, although not every unit offers every feature. Weekly housekeeping, linen service, and scheduled maintenance are standard, and select residences provide balconies or ground-floor patios for added outdoor access.
Residents receive three daily meals prepared in the community’s commercial kitchen, served restaurant-style in a common dining room. Menus are planned to meet nutritional guidelines and can be modified for low-sodium, diabetic, or other physician-ordered diets. Snacks and beverages are available around the clock, and room-service delivery is offered during illness or by request for those recovering from procedures.
