Housing Options
There are many options for senior living today, ranging from independent living, to assisted living and nursing homes.
Independent Living – Some seniors desire to remain in their own homes. To enhance safe and accessible home living, many community and in-home services are available in Sedgwick County, including minor home repair and safety evaluations. For those who seek a change in residence, an array of senior focused apartments, duplexes, and condominiums are available, both on a private pay and a subsidized basis. Amenities and services provided can vary, and some options may involve applications and wait lists.
Assisted Living – Facilities that are designed to offer supportive services that maintain maximum privacy, freedom, and independence fall in this category. Assisted living facilities can provide, as needed, personal assistance ranging from help with bathing, to medication management, housekeeping, and overall monitoring.
Nursing Homes – For individuals with significant health problems, a nursing home may be the best option. Nursing home support services include bathing, dressing, medication management, meal assistance, housekeeping, activities, and more. Many homes also have special programs for those individuals who have dementia.
