Assisted Living Communities in Derby, KS

"What I like best about Azria Health Wichita is that the place is very clean. It's beautiful, the residents there are well-mannered and I liked all that. But I think what I liked best was that they had a policy where they make everybody wear an N95 mask when they come in. That just points out to me that they're serious about health and safety so I appreciated that."

"I think Dove Estates Senior Living is a very nice facility. We walked by some of the apartments, and the residents' doors were open. They were saying hi. I think it looked very clean overall. The room was definitely adequate and more like an apartment size. They have exercise facilities, a community room, and a library."

"I liked Vintage Place very much. One little RN came in while I was there and she was very nice, very sweet, and she was the only person that I talked to. My mom's room is very clean, just the perfect size, and she's happier than she's ever been. "

"I chose Derby Assisted Living because the rooms are larger and it was a better fit for me. I'm just a new resident, so everything has been excellent. The staff is great. I have standby on my bath, and it's great just to have someone there because I fall. They have very good meals, and they offer three a day. There's a rehab center and care home right behind it. Breakfast is excellent and they'll fix anything for you if you don't like what they have. They have an activity director. Last Friday, they took some of the women shopping on the bus. They've always got something going on. The price is about normal for this area and the facility itself is wonderful."

"We chose Glen Carr House Memory Care for my mother. They do a lot of games, word searches, memory recognition, and outings. It's a nine-bed unit, so they get more one-on-one attention than they would normally in a nursing home. So far, we're very pleased with them. She's been there a little over 30 days. They have a doctor on-site or a PA on-site, so if they have a fall, there's someone right there to assess them. They have a doctor that they see every Thursday. They have a clinic as most of these patients do have orthopedic issues. They're just really expensive."

"My parents moved to Maria Court and our experience has been wonderful. It's been very accepting and they've been great in communication and care. Their rooms are very accommodating. My parents have been very pleased with the food and the food selection. They go shopping and they do bingo. They also go out as a community, like lunch out. They sign up for the things they're interested in and they are transported. The facility is very homey, very comfortable, and very accommodating to their needs."

"My husband & I visited as we are seeking assisted living for his mother. We were empressed, the facility as clean and nicely decorated. The staff and residents we met were friendly. One resident stated he has lived there for 7 years and likes it. They keep us busy and active was his statement. "

"We went to Mount Saint Mary. I felt very comfortable there. The apartments are smaller than what I was wanting. It was a good place, it was just not big enough for me. It was pleasing, and it was clean."

"We toured Agape Home Plus and it was excellent. The facility was clean, well-appointed, very well laid out, and active. We saw a lot of activity. There were people up and about and moving around and engaging. There was an activity they were doing when I went there. The home was quite lovely. I would want my mother to go into Agape, but the communal bathrooms were not going to work for my mother. The staff was very attentive and spent a lot of time with me discussing my mother in particular. I like them. There was a living room, a kitchen, and a dining room all kind of in a semi-open floor plan. Bedrooms were on opposite sides of the house. It was a nice setup. My only thing is that communal bathroom situations won't work for our specific situation. That and the fact that it was more expensive, too, in Wichita."

"My mom moved into ComfortCare Homes. Besides two other providers that responded, ComfortCare Homes was the first to respond. They were just very thorough, and they were the first to set an appointment. They have actual homes that have been converted, so the homey feeling is what I was looking for. Each home offers a different level of memory care. The other thing that attracted me was that my mom is getting a brand-new room. The construction is in process, and when the new rooms are done she gets to choose her room. The staff members are very personable. The nurse sat with me, and we went through all the medications. The fact that they staff their people with CNAs and nurses and not the general public is very important to me. I was very pleased with that. All of them that I've encountered have been extremely thorough and helpful. They'd call me during the day and at night to let me know what was going on. It's been such a big relief. The facility is very clean. It's impressive to see how they're able to manage taking care of six people, having the construction go on, and still maintain the cleanliness that they have. I am very impressed by that. When I went there yesterday to take my mom to the doctor, there was a fellow there entertaining them. The residents sang along with some songs that they were familiar with. They have puzzles and a lot of socialization. On Mondays they do manicures for the ladies. They try to encourage the residents to socialize in the family room where they have TVs. All their homes have pets."

"Located in notheast Wichita, just north of Kellogg, this is a busy and well maintained nursing and rehab center. The campus is large and nestled near the Girls Scout and police department offices. A good portion of it is dedicated to rehab therapy. Therapists are skilled and serious about getting you back on your feet and back home. Food is good and served in a communal dining room or patient room, if necessary. Therapy pet on campus helps to give feeling of home and offers love freely. There is a busy activity schedule and family and volunteers are highly visible on campus. A secured Dementia unit is available. Good social service department. "

"Lakepoint Nursing Center is a very clean place and seemed to have been kept up well. The staff were friendly and greeted us with smiles as we entered the facility. I was amazed at the professionalism of the employees. The quality of food is important to me and these folks seemed to have been preparing good old fashioned home cooked meals. Also, we notice that one of the owners actually worked at Lakepoint. He had an office there and it really meant a lot knowing that he was on site and managing the staff. We felt like the center was small and cozy, yet large enough for the nice amenities. For example, Lakepoint has a reputation for their beautiful outdoor sculptures on display at their facilities. With the sculptures and landscaping, we felt like we were in a botanical garden. It was just beautiful. We highly recommend Lakepoint and I would feel comfortable recommending this assisted living facility to my family and friends. "

"My mother is a resident there. Over the last 2 years, she has had an excellent experience. The facility is very nice, always clean, homey, and the staff is great. They truly care for the residents. We could not be happier. It is such a blessing to know that our mother is in such good hands, especially when we're so far away from Wichita. "

"This is an intimate assisted living facility in the northeast part of the city. It is managed by the big Via Christi medical system that has a stronghold in the Wichita area. Very lovely facility. Only has about 40 units. Furnished cozy and home-like. Nice schedule of activities. Nurse on site daily so good monitoring of medical conditions. Grounds are kept up nicely, but close to busy cross streets. Only down side is not a continuum of care community...so a move will be necessary if needs exceed the limits of assisted living. "
