Assisted Living Communities in Topeka, KS

"My mom is at Lexington Park Assisted Living. She had moved into the independent living part of it a couple of years ago, and so we just kept her within the community that she's used to. She knows a few people already, so it was just an easy transition. So far, it's been a wonderful experience. Once you're in the community, you're part of them, and they treat us like family. She also likes their food. They offer a variety that she can choose from and then they also have some options available if you don't like what they're having. They just offer so many different dishes so you can find something that you like every day. The facilities are very clean and bright. We had toured some other facilities that were dark and dingy-looking, but this one always smells clean. There's no foul odors at all. The apartments are spacious, clean, and they have large windows. They have bingo, cards, and also some arts and crafts. The staff is very helpful and they really try to find something that everybody can do and enjoy."

"Oak Creek is a small, no-frills, down-to-earth facility that has the most caring staff I've ever met. Both residents and staff feel like family. My loved one loved this place and these people. I couldn't recommend this place any higher. "

"I like the smallness of Peggy Kelly House. It is a 10-person home. I like its home-like atmosphere; that's why we picked it. They specialize in Alzheimer's care. I like this place. I had heard good things about it before I even went to visit. The staff's work ethic appeared to be good. The rooms were not spacious, and my wife is going to be moving into a shared room. They have outdoor activities. They have group activities and Bible studies. They are taken out nearly every day for a visit or a ride. "

"My mom is at Winter Meadow Homes. She has a private room there. The only thing is, that house needs to be remodeled because my mom has turned her walker sideways to get in the door. The food is good, and my mom likes it. She is a diabetic, and the staff knows what she should be eating at what time of day, so that's good too. My mom likes the owner. His wife works there too, and she's an LPN. "

"My mother-in-law moved to Providence Homes Plus and we chose it for her, because of its small size. We felt that it would be a better place for her. It is a converted home, so it has a nice and homey atmosphere. She is in the memory care and they have been very good at updating us and keeping us informed. They play cards and other games with the residents. They have them do holiday craft-type activities, too."

"My mom has been in Homestead of Topeka for three months now. She's in assisted living. It's a clean and very open place. They were nice when I talked to them. They were concerned. She is pleased with the food. She gets her hair done whenever she wants, and there is a person that clips and takes care of her toenails (which is nice). They go for rides to different places, and there's lots of different activities like bingo and singing. There are several activities. In fact, it's daily that there's some kind of activity."

"Topeka Presbyterian Manor is a very big facility. It has all three levels: independent, assisted, and skilled nursing, and I've been to all sections. The independent section apartments had two rooms or three rooms, but nice size, and had little patios with sliding doors. The assisted room was a little bit smaller, and my friend had a roommate there, but they both had a decent area, room for a chair, their bed, and a little kitchenette area. The nursing level was pretty good with attention to the residents, they had them all out of their rooms, and they were at a table, and some of them were playing cards or they were around the TV. The meals there were very good. That's an excellent place."

"My dad was at McCrite Plaza Topeka and the personnel, the nurses, the nurse's aide, the social worker, and the place, and everything was great. It's just very homey and the outside is beautiful. If you take them on the patio, there are flowers and there's a pond to walk around. And on the inside, they had a recliner, and it just seemed very homey. I think he liked the food. They have everything that you could ask for. They have a nice outdoor area, they have crafts, and I believe they have a bar and all that stuff available. But he didn't use it because he was in rehab. They have a lot of activities for the people. I thought his room was homey because I'd been in another rehab facility and this one had a nice recliner, a TV, a window, and a nice closet. And it was a nice size."

"I was very impressed with the friendliness of the staff at this facility. I was almost an hour late to my appointment which had been scheduled to overlap the lunch hour so I could taste the food. My guide was very gracious and forgiving and they had kept a plate hot for me despite my tardiness. (The food is also quite tasty - I had turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, peas, a roll, and cake with iced-tea and water.) This is a smaller facility in a slightly older building in a less-developed, nearly-rural, residential area of Topeka. It has 30 apartments and has several very independent residents who still drive, own pets, or hold part-time jobs, while others require much more care. The staff seemed very personable and friendly, and seemed to be much more genuinely and personally engaged with the residents than in some of the facilities I have visited (particularly larger ones). While I was there, there was lots going on. The residents were finishing lunch when I arrived, and then several visited with one resident and her Cairn Terrier. After that, another residents two kids and five grandkids arrived for a visit and spent some time in the main common area. As they were leaving, another woman and her son brought one of their seven 6-week-old puppies to see the residents. Everyone really seemed to enjoy having so much going on. I would definitely recommend this facility, but it might not be the best option for those residents with very high care needs. "

"My sister is in Countryside Health Center. It looks like a mental hospital. That's what it reminds me of. It smells OK. The one thing that bothers my sister is that the mental people because she is afraid of them. She is in a semi-private room. It is very small. They need to improve on the activities. There isn't as much here; it doesn't seem to be. "

"We have a friend that lives in Brookside, and she just loves it. That will be a place that is apparently suitable to some people, and that's what we are looking at. She is in the independent living side. We saw the cafeteria, her room, the community room, and the chapel. They have activities like they are playing games and cards. The facility is really clean, and they are well staffed. We look at the dining area, but it is not a dining time, so we did not see the food. The rooms are very clean and very spacious for a single person. "

"I went to Neuvant House Of Lawrence. The facilities were extremely nice. They have both assisted living and memory care, but they're in two separate units. I didn't specify when I made the appointment, so they took me to both. I didn't spend very much time in the assisted living because I wasn't interested in that facility. It was understaffed. The physical facilities were much better than the other facility. They had five people for 16 residents, and they said that their normal staffing would be 10. If they're fully staffed, they would have 10, and they were not fully staffed. Because they were so short, some of the activities were being done by outside contractors. The food was good, but it's scheduled. There are two-hour windows and they're not available 24/7, but there are some snacks available in-between times. People can schedule haircuts and hair appointments and things like that, so they do have the facilities, but they don't have people there to do it. The people that were there were doing a great job. They were very caring with the people, and were watching the people and could tell when somebody needed assistance and that kind of thing. The people that were there were doing a very good job, but they were understaffed."
