What to Consider About Assisted Living in Chanute

Named after railroad engineer and aviation pioneer Octave Chanute, the city of Chanute is located in Neosho County, Kansas. Of its more than 9,000 residents, roughly 20% are aged 65 and older and may need help with daily living tasks.

In Chanute, and across all of Kansas, communities that provide this type of care are referred to as adult care homes (ACHs). Both assisted living facilities (ALFs) and residential health care facilities are classified as ACHs, and are licensed and governed by the Secretary of Aging and Disability Services. There are currently two facilities available locally that provide these services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Chanute

  • The overall cost of living in Chanute is lower than both statewide and national averages, which may make it a good choice for seniors on a tight budget. It receives an index rating of 71, compared to the averages of 91 across Kansas and 100 on a national scale.
  • While violent crime rates are similar to statewide and national rates, the rate of property crime in Chanute is significantly higher. Out of 100, with 100 representing high crime, the city scores 51.4, compared to 35.4 nationally, something seniors may want to consider.
  • Winters in Chanute are quite mild; however, the hot and muggy summer weather may be uncomfortable for some seniors.
  • Chanute has few facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, with the nearest major hospitals located in Parsons and Neodesha.
  • To help seniors navigate the city, SEK-CAP offers general transportation services to residents of Southeast Kansas, across Crawford, Montgomery and Neosho County. While there is a requested donation, service is never denied for lack of payment.
  • Chanute has an array of community resources for seniors, including Kansas Area Agency on Aging, an organization that not only provides tools and information, a nutrition program and a Silver Haired legislature comprised entirely of adults aged 60 and up who advocate specifically for Kansas' aging population, as well as a senior center.
