19 Nursing Homes Near Olathe, KS
Living in Olathe offers seniors a quiet suburban lifestyle with a reasonable cost of living and a location that’s just 30 minutes from the arts and culture of nearby Kansas City. With a population exceeding 140,000 people, Olathe’s percentage of adult residents aged 65 and up is 11%. Seniors can choose from a wide array of physicians in Olathe, with 365 doctors per 100,000 residents, which is 155 more than the national average of physicians per capita. The Olathe Medical Center is one of the largest hospital campuses in the Midwest.
Nursing home costs for seniors in Olathe are somewhat less expensive than the US average costs for a semiprivate room, $6,844 and $7,756, respectively. In comparison, a private room in an Olathe nursing home averages $7,452 a month, while the pricier US average is $8,821.
Nursing homes become costly because they provide residents with 24-hour supervision, medical and personal care and ongoing monitoring of their needs when seniors can no longer live at home. The staff provides nursing care and various types of occupational and physical therapy. For seniors who don’t require the full-time care that nursing homes provide, assisted living or home health care arrangements may be a preferable alternative until a need for transitioning to a nursing home becomes imminent.

We chose Evergreen Community of Johnson County (Johnson County Nursing Center) because it has a really high rating, and someone from our community recommended them. They take the residents on road trips or to restaurants three times a month. They also do bingo like six times a week, and they earn bingo bucks that they can use for shopping once a month in their little store that they have set up there. From 8:00 to 4:00, they have different activities going on, like singing, games, and stuff like that all day. They have a quick response time when you press the buzzer. It seems like a family community there. I think the food is good,and my parents like it. In their previous community, mom couldnt choose a hash brown because theyre always fried too much but here its soft and it has a much better variety of food too. The staff seems very happy, pleasant, and friendly. There was one who visits my parents several times a day during the week. Its also pet-friendly and theres a cat that lives in the community for the residents. The place is built in a circle, and in the middle of that circle they have barbecue grill, tables, and chairs where the family can come and sit out and grill with them or sit around. Theres a pond with ducks and different things. Im happy with all of it, and my parents seem to be happy there. Its an older building but it seems safe and secure.

Good Samaritan Society – Olathe had an opening by the time we were looking for my mom. It was the closest place to the hospital, so we’ve decided to move her there. Right now, they’re low on staff. We just found out about that yesterday that they are on lockdown because of COVID.
The staff is very helpful, but there’s only one registered nurse. They are depending a lot on students who were there for a volunteer work. They serve a lot of sandwiches and soup, but she really doesn’t like it (and they’re usually not hot). She likes her breakfast though. She usually gets some scrambled eggs or toast. However, she told me that one Saturday that they never serve lunch when they’re supposed to.
They’re trying to keep the facility clean, but I think there’s not enough people there to clean it every day. She has a small room with a TV and carpeted floors, which is a good thing. Right now, she’s having to pay the full price, which is about $9,000 a month, but she’s not getting the value of it. Eventually, she will be going onto Medicaid for that.

COULD BE THE MOST INCOMPETENT NURSING FACILITY IN THE STATE OF KS! Do not choose this facility and beware that they will tell you anything to get the patient thru the door. Once the patient is there, they have NO intention of properly preparing the staff or in doing what is in the best interest of the patient. Our stay lasted about 36 hours and ended with a traumatic brain injured patient being arrested, handcuffed and taken to the ER. The ER doctors were completely confused as to why the patient had been manhandled instead of kindly and respectfully redirected. The staff at Pinnacle are completely inept and the administrative staff is obtuse! Unfortunate that I ever accepted a second phone call from this facility. Take my advice and do not choose Pinnacle Ridge!

My step dad went here after he fell and broke his hip. After about 3 weeks or so he was sent to the hospital. He had a bed sore that went all the way to the bone and was infected with e coli and antibiotic resistant. He also has a knot on his leg which is a aneurysm. It is bleeding and has split so they can not repair it. He is now in hospice and not expected to live. If it would not have been for this place he would still be a very happy man and probably home by now.

My parents were at rehab at Stratford Commons. My dad needed quite a bit of care so I stayed in a cot there every night to make sure he got what he needed. The care wasn’t good and they even forget to order his good. One day they even forgot all three times. I had to go down only to be told the kitchen is closed. The building itself and the rooms were clean and very nice. It’s a newer building, but there was a few staff. My dad soiled his pants and it took them an hour to get in there, and it took them about another two hours to get my dad cleaned up. My mom even called me crying one day. 90% of the time I would give them 15 or 20 minutes, and dad would have to go to the bathroom and he couldn’t hold it in any longer so I would go out and try to find someone, and then it still would take them another 10 to 30 minutes to get in there. They had some activities. My dad had no teeth and lots of times when they cooked hash browns they’d be too hard so he couldn’t chew them. Also, it was the same food all the time. I was very upset and I wouldn’t recommend the place.

In-home care and home health care cost the same at $4,576, but placement in an assisted living home averages $116 less per month.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Olathe, KS
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
