Advena Living of Clay Center sits in Clay Center, Kansas, as part of a privately owned group with seven locations across the state, and has been around since 2010. This place serves older adults who are looking to live in a community that supports independent living but also offers help when it's needed, and you'll find both long-term care and skilled nursing services here. The staff is made up of caring and qualified people who aim to provide intentional care that's focused on each person's needs, so residents get a say in how they live every day, which means respect for choices and routines. There are 40 beds in the nursing facility, and rooms come ready with a bed, bedside table, television, and either an armoire or closet, though residents can bring some personal furniture if they want to feel more at home.
People living at Advena Living of Clay Center can get assisted living, short-term rehabilitation, memory care, and respite care, with physical, occupational, and speech therapy available in-house all week. The facility has both private healthcare rooms and shared spaces where folks can come together to eat, talk, or join in different activities, including a calendar of events, social gatherings, and group outings, which makes it easier to feel part of things and build friendships. They offer exercise equipment when it's available, spiritual services, and services for managing medication. Residents get their laundry and housekeeping taken care of, and there are licensed beauty and barber services on-site, along with flexible mealtimes and menus that can be adjusted for special diets or particular tastes.
The campus feels like a home with green gardens, a courtyard with walking paths, areas for families to gather, and pet-friendly policies, so people can bring their small pets along. Reliable transportation is part of the deal, whether someone needs a ride for shopping, medical appointments, or local trips. Everyone gets free wireless internet and basic cable, with options for more channels, which helps with daily comfort. If someone has just been in the hospital or a rehab center, there's a special transition team to help them settle in. The whole approach here is about meeting a wide range of healthcare needs while promoting connection, independence, and a caring sense of community for each resident, whether someone moves in for a short stay or to call it home for the long term.
