Nursing Home Communities in Derby, KS

"I have three adult Wards residing at this facility. It may not be the best facility in the city, but there is always plenty of staff, they take the patients out on excursions all the time, whenever I call they are very helpful, very organized and seem to know the needs of each patient. In my experience, it has appeared to be clean and orderly, my Wards are happy there. I have been there several times and each time, I am greeted by staff members who appear to enjoy their jobs. They are a Medicaid-accepting facility, which is good because many folks just don't have the money to afford a more upscale facility. I have one Ward there for whom they have bent over backwards to assist in his rehabilitation (alcoholism). The staff goes above and beyond what they need to do. They have an outdoor area which is well-supervised and a security system so that those who shouldn't go out, don't. They take in a varied clientele - mostly mental health issue patients. Again, my Wards have made friends and don't call and ask to be moved to another facility. They are happy there and that's all that counts. "

"This facility was spacious and had a very friendly environment. However, the building itself was quite old, although the staff did their best to make it look nice with lovely decorations. The staff themselves were very efficient. They seemed to attend to those in need very quickly, even when staffing was short on a few different occasions. My grandmother seemed to love the food and activities provided by the faculty. She even made friends with a few others and some of the staff members were nice enough to take them out to dinner a few times, on their own time, and paying with their own money. I gave the facility a rating of four out of five because the staff couldn't be better, but the shape of the facility itself could definitely improve. Regardless of how I feel about the shape of the building, my grandmother loved it and seemed very pleased with her decision to live there. Altogether, she lived there for four years before passing away. "

"My brother moved into Wilson Care And Rehabilitation. They seem like they are very professional. They have a lot of CNAs and nurses around. My brother just fit in well. The staff members are around him all the time, help him, and watch him close. My brother likes home cooking, and they have a lot of home cooking. They keep them busy all the time. The school kids come through there and sing for them. They have a lot of activities there."

"Would definitely not be my first choice if options are available. This nursing home is located at corner of Oliver and 13th St. in Northeast Wichita. This is an older campus and looks more like an institutional facility. Very little in the way of ambiance. The rooms have a cold feel to them and the grounds are pretty much cement and driveway. Traffic is busy in this area as the university is nearby and these two streets are main arteriesin the city . However, it is easy to get here. Social service department is very active and helpful for those needing to tap into Medicaid or other support services. Food is pretty good. Be sure to check the public survery. "

"Marjorie's Home is a house versus a facility, so you walk in and you kind of feel like you've walked in to Grandma's house. It's not new nor fancy, and it doesn't have any bells and whistles. It is just Grandma's house, and it even smells like Grandma's house, but it doesn't smell like a nursing home. It is a small facility with 6 bedrooms, so there are only 6 clients who can live there. The 2 nurses who worked the day shift are very knowledgeable, made me feel very comfortable, and when I asked questions like "Would my mom be able to bake cookies if she wanted?" they were like "Of course she could!" If she wants to garden, she can go garden, and they would prefer her not wandering down the street by herself, but she won't be locked in a ward. She would have more one-on-one time. I feel like the ladies here would interact with my mom so we could be more present longer. "

"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. "

"Ascension Via Christi Rehabilitation Hospital was extremely clean, probably the cleanest place I've ever been. They changed the beds every day. I didn't have one nurse that wasn't friendly. Every one of them were good and friendly, and I barely pressed the button. They were there and were very good about helping me with anything I needed. The rehab place was crazy amazing. It's huge and it's got this OT room that's like a city, and people can practice going to Walmart and to a restaurant, and it looks just like the real places. They have food on the shelves like Walmart would set it up. It's so cool. They had a car that you could practice getting in and out of. They had all kinds of computer stuff you could work on in there. There's so much different stuff in their main room that I had never seen before that I worked on. They kept moving, and they only have 40 beds there, but they were busy. They also had outpatient rehab. Every one of the therapists helped me. They helped me with everything. They were so good. Different doctors came in every single day. The rooms were bigger than the other places, and very nice. I get out of the bed and they would have it changed. They were so good at that, and making sure I had showers, and helped me with that. The food was way better. It had more fruits and vegetables that you could pick from every day. It just seemed like it was a way better menu. I want to tell people to go over there and check their menu out. They had fresh fruit they could get every day. They had like five or six different vegetables you could get, different potatoes, things like that."

"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. "

"My tour at Regent Park Assisted Living & Memory Care was wonderful; it was a great experience. The staff who gave the tour was excellent and the rooms were amazing. Everything seemed top-notch. The dining facilities were great, but I didn't sample the menu at all."

"My mother was in Regent Park Rehabilitation and Healthcare for rehab, after leaving the hospital. It's top of the line, but it's expensive. The staff was very good. It's a very nice, and well laid-out facility. It's spotless, it's one of the cleanest places I've seen. She seemed to like the food. It was a very nice room. It was a large room, she had a private room. It's got a nice TV in there, the whole bed. It was real. They've got some therapy-type exercise equipment that people can use to kind of help build back muscles and stuff like that. They cater to the upper echelon. So it is fairly expensive."

"My father was a recent patient at ManorCare. The staff was wonderful, and very caring. The facility was clean, and welcoming. The administrative staff went out of their way to make sure my family was comfortable while visiting. The food was good as well, and there was always activities going on. I would highly recommend ManorCare to anyone looking for either rehab as a short stay, or for long term care. It is close to shopping and restaurants, and easy access to the highway. "

"Rooms are small. Very often understaffed. No teamwork among staff, which results often in residents being overlooked or neglected. Very high staff turnover. Some staff have very poor attitudes. Management more interested in lining pockets by filling beds than providing quality care. Food terrible. Menu limited and quality poor. Residents offered no outings other than doctor appointments. "

"From the moment my mother walked through these doors she was cared for and loved with great activities and the best food in town. She had a great-sized room unfettered by architectural impediments, so we were able to load familiar furniture in with choices as to placement. The in-room kitchenette allowed us to have private meals with Mom from time to time. The bathrooms were well-appointed with a great walk/roll-in shower. "

"My father was in Reeds Cove for rehabilitation. The staff was very helpful. They wouldn't always follow through on things I asked for, but it's probably because I didn't know who to ask. They took good care of him. The rooms there were fine; they were just normal rooms. The food was good and they're good about taking him out to the dining room. Their dining room was a common area with a lot of the tables pushed together, so everybody could visit with each other if they wanted. The administrative staff was very helpful in filing for long-term health care. They also had a scheduled special event while he was there, which we all enjoyed. They had a lovely area outside with a garden, and people could walk around outside, which was nice."
