Advena Living of Cherryvale sits in historic Cherryvale, Kansas, and operates as a for-profit limited liability company, linked with Cornerstone Group Holdings and managed by Cherryvale Management, LLC since 2007, as well as New Paradigm Solutions Inc since 2018, and the facility has 45 certified beds, usually housing about 28 residents a day, and offers a range of care types, including skilled nursing, independent living, assisted living, specialized memory care at select locations, rehabilitation therapy, and respite care, so people can find the help they need in one community, and since it's a continuing-care setting, some residents stay long term while others come for shorter recovery. Each resident has access to medical care with 24-hour on-site nursing staff, a physician on call, and nurse staffing that averages 3.60 nurse hours per resident per day, though the nurse turnover rate stands at 54.3%, and the place has had 33 total deficiencies in inspection reports, with two relating to infection, and some citations have involved resident rights about dignity, self-determination, and communication, which families should note.
Rooms come furnished with a bed, bedside table, television, and either an armoire or closet but do allow space for personal items or small furniture, which can make things feel familiar and comfortable; private rooms are available as well, and the community doesn't mind pets, since people often feel at home with an animal by their side. Residents have access to free wireless internet, standard cable, and, for those who want more, expanded movie channels can be added, and if someone needs beauty or barber services, the facility provides them, along with housekeeping and laundry. Food service includes flexible meal times and menus that can be adjusted to meet special likes or needs, and the staff aims to respect personal choices every day, so people make decisions about routines and meals.
The staff puts effort into making the place feel welcoming, keeping a full calendar of events, social gatherings, "happy hours," and community trips, and the facility has family room spaces, common dining areas, a fenced backyard, and a patio for outdoor time, which are popular spots for visitors. Rehabilitation therapy is available seven days a week for anyone who needs physical, occupational, or speech therapy, and there's a transition team to help residents return home from hospital stays, making sure the care plan fits personal goals. For practical needs, paid transportation helps people get to medical appointments in town, and there's support from staff around the clock. The community focuses on treating people respectfully, seeing residents and staff as part of an extended family, welcoming newcomers, and supporting everyone's comfort and independence, even as the place has to answer to state standard, complaint, and infection-control inspections, which are standard for nursing homes.
