Azria Health Wichita

Not a happy camper

As a hopefully short term resident, I can say the food can be delicious; the staff can be efficient, caring, knowledgeable; therapy is in my case a joke; getting my medicine at the proper times, in the proper doses, is a fight. One morning my breakfast came straight from the freezer. Didn’t eat breakfast. At times I wondered if I was being punished for some infraction. Some medicine I was getting haphazardly if at all. A constant battle. No one on staff was listening to me. Some just heatedly put my medicine on the table and walked way. Policies and procedures very inconsistent. No where are meal times posted, not even in the rooms. I wasn’t given any information when to expect bath times until an aide came to my room one night and asked if I’d like to take a shower. There was no list of non therapy activities provided. My room was pleasant. I loved watching the cars drive by.

We are on the waiting list for Azria Health Wichita. I think they're going to be a good fit for my mom. I would say their dining facility is top notch. The facility has lots of amenities and lots of activities. I haven't tried their food, but I saw several people eating and it looked fantastic. It was very nice. The staff who toured me around was extraordinary. For activities, they were getting ready for viewing college football games. They had a theater. They were playing bingo. They had a room where you can play pool or cards or do any kind of activity you want to do. They had libraries for just reading. They really go above and beyond to make people feel at home.

My parents are staying at Azria Health Wichita. It's a nice facility. It's new and modern. They've been a little understaffed sometimes, but the staff members are great. Their room is like any other hospital room or doctor's office room. My dad doesn't like most of the food. The dining area is nice. It's like a little cafeteria. Upstairs they have card games, a poker table, a movie theater, and lots of different activities going on. They have calendars in each room to see what's going on. They are very highly-priced.

Azria Health Wichita was very convenient. It was just right down the street. We toured some studio apartments and they were really, really nice, and very spacious. It would be perfect for my mom, but they just didn't really have one available for her. Then downstairs, they had their long-term care and we toured that as well, and it was very nice. Their dining room is also their game room, and they actually had a theater room with very nice recliners and a large wide screen TV. They had people in there playing games and visiting their relatives. They even had a pub downstairs for happy hour, so you could take your family member down there and have drinks and stuff and visit. It had TVs down in there also. They had a courtyard so everybody could go down there. It's a locked facility in which everybody had to have a card to get in and out, except for the very front. They had a concierge that is right there out front when you sign in and out. It was a newer facility. It's very clean and very kept up.

I toured Azria Health Wichita, and it's absolutely beautiful. It's just gorgeous. I never got to see one of the rooms but the staff showed me where the physical therapy is. They have a salon, and a little lounge so the residents could go down there and have a glass of wine, which I thought was neat. The physical therapy was outstanding. It was just lovely. The lady who assisted me was very nice. She was very informative and took down all my information. She did call about three weeks later and said that she had a studio that would be coming up. The grounds were beautifully manicured, and absolutely lovely. The way they have it set up, it's far enough back from K-96, which is a very busy, noisy thoroughfare from east to west. The grounds had trees, benches, conversation areas, and wide sidewalks. Everything was maintained. I was just blown away at how pretty it was. It was gorgeous. The greeting lobby was gorgeous.

Azria Health Wichita was very nice. It looked very comfortable and they looked like they were paying attention to their people. They were really friendly and very educational. They have a gym, a salon, a movie theater, a bar, and a game place. It's like being part of luxury apartments.
