What to Consider About Assisted Living in Hutchinson

Home to numerous salt plants, Hutchinson has earned the nickname Salt City, though it's affectionately referred to as Hutch by locals. Hutch is home to over 40,000 residents, 18% of whom are aged 65 and older, and may find that an adult care home (ACH) may be what they need to accommodate their changing needs.

In Hutchinson and throughout Kansas, all ACHs are licensed by the Secretary of Aging and Disability Services. Seniors have three ACHs to choose from in the Hutchinson area. These communities may be assisted living facilities (ALFs) or residential health care facilities.
