The Best Nursing Home Communities in Sedgwick County, KS

"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. "

"Meridian Home (Meridian Nursing And Rehabilitation Center) was wonderful. They have a textile room, a game room, and a room where they let the residents rest before and after meals. They did have a courtyard and my mother-in-law would have liked to go in there. It is off the dining room, so what's cool about it is, as you eat, and if you sitting in the right place in the dining room, you can see the birds and ducks that come down. The staff members are very friendly and very open about what they were doing."

"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."

"I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the care and support you've provided to my loved one over the last several months. Your kindness and attention to detail have meant the world to us, and we are truly grateful for all that you do. Kimmie and her staff are excellent!!!!!!! Kudos!!"

"When my husband was in the hospital, for some reason, he stopped walking. So he was sent to Life Care Center for rehabilitation. The people there are all great. The food is okay, he liked it. Their activities include bingo, movies, and they have people come into the facility to play the piano and guitar. They're all very caring people. "

"My mom moved to Wichita Presbyterian Manor. I like that one best out of all of the places that I've visited. It was extremely clean, bright, and cheery. It was just a very positive experience every time that I visited. Everybody seemed very happy. Nobody seemed sad, depressed, or anything like that. I'm impressed with it. For the activities, I've only seen a couple of them, and one of them was music. They had somebody that comes in there a couple of times a week, and they do sing-a-long and that sort of thing. The other one was aimed mainly at the women who were having their nails done. It doesn't matter where you're going to put somebody. It's all extremely expensive but if you're comparing it's right there with everybody else as far as memory care costs. I love the staff. They take good care of everyone there and they're always very friendly. You can call them any time of day or night, and they're just right there to answer your questions. I feel very positive about the decision that I made to put mom there. The food is excellent."

"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. "

"I loved this facility! The rooms were very clean and the staff was very friendly. I appreciated that the nurses always answered our questions and didn’t seem agitated. I only hear positive things about the food and I discovered they actually have a certified chef! I would highly recommend Sandpiper for your love one."

"My father was there in 2012. He had both legs removed below the knee. They rehabbed him and showed him how to transfer his self. He liked it, and so did I. You never want to end up in a nursing home but some of us have no choice. It was in the area that I live, And my dad lives with me now. He goes back and visit staff that are still there."

"My father is in memory care at CCH West. The staff there is exceptional, and we could not ask for more caring and attentive service. My dad seems happier than he has for years given the activity level and social interaction. Often, we visit to find house staff or corporate staff engaging our father in conversation or activity. We feel that is truly a "home" type environment. The food is freshly made on site by the staff with ingredients from a local grocery store. Our family would recommend ComfortCare Homes to anyone looking for a caring and competent home for their loved one with memory health issues."

"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."

"Excellent facility. Staff are very friendly and always willing to help when needed. Overall great care provided to my family member."

"There have been alot of changes in this facility in the last year. Overall improvements in staff and atmosphere. I visited this place for my mom after having had an uncle here in past and the changes are really great. I would recommend it to anyone not wanting a boring, quiet lifestyle. It has a friendly and fun atmosphere, and can definitely see that they truly do try to meet all the needs. "

"We visited Larksfield Place Assisted Living. They have two different large fields here in town, assisted living and independent living. They're all the same company, but they're two different locations. It's not very old, it's new, it's very luxurious, and it's very nice. It had large rooms, was spacious, and had very nice accommodation. It feels like you're in a French villa. The staff was awesome. The room I saw was more like a 1-bedroom apartment. The dining area was also very nice. I'm excited that my mom was able to get in there. She was on a waiting list and they just actually called me this morning saying that the room would be available next week. They've got a lot more activities than my mom wants to do. They do exercise, do Bible study, go on trips, and they go out to eat. They keep them busy with games and they also have a movie theater. They have a little bit of everything."
