Homestead Assisted Living of Halstead sits at 715 W 6th Street in Halstead, Kansas, near restaurants, parks, and hospitals, so residents can feel connected to the local community, and what's handy is the whole place is on one floor, which means there's no stairs or elevators to make things harder for anyone who has trouble moving around, and that's a big relief for a lot of older adults who just want to go about their day without worrying about falling or getting lost. With 30 private apartments where folks can bring their own belongings and put them where they like, it feels more like home, and with interior and exterior maintenance included, nobody has to worry about mowing grass or fixing things because staff take care of that, and that's something everyone appreciates. Each apartment connects to a secure 24-hour communication system, so there's always a way to call for help, and licensed caregivers are there to help with dressing, bathing, mobility, medication management, and even incontinence care, which is something a lot of families look at when deciding on a place.
The community focuses a lot on helping people feel connected, so there are always daily activities, community events, parties, and regular social gatherings, and staff make sure nobody feels left out and everyone gets a chance to join in, though you can keep to yourself if you want, and there's devotional services offered offsite for those who want that, along with interior and exterior communal areas, so you can take a stroll in the courtyard or just relax in the living room with friends. There's a big focus on nutrition with three home-cooked meals served every day, all made with dietary needs in mind, served in the dining room so there's always some company and conversation, and there's even a whirlpool spa tub and salon services on site for some added comfort. Homestead provides weekly housekeeping and laundry, so that's one less thing to worry about, and suites come in several options so residents can personalize and settle in how they like.
Homestead calls itself a continuing care retirement community, which means it offers several levels of support, starting from independent living up to assisted living, memory care for folks with memory loss or confusion, and even respite and hospice care if needed, so residents can get more help as their needs change without having to move away. The team is attentive and caring, working with each resident and their family to tailor a care plan according to what's needed, whether that's help with daily activities, mobility, memory support, or just a little companionship. Every staff member aims to treat residents with dignity, and visitors often notice how friendly and personal the staff is, taking the time to know everyone and keep families in the loop. Staff are available at all times with health care services and medication management, all while trying to let residents stay as independent as possible.
Smoking isn't allowed indoors, either in private or public areas, and the building stays well-kept, clean, and designed for safety and ease, so there's peace of mind for residents and their families. The on-site activities, comfortable suites, and single-level layout all help residents settle in and find their own rhythm, with the staff supporting a full schedule of social, educational, and entertaining programs, so there's always something to do if you want to get involved. Transportation for appointments or outings is available, and help's there for personal care, memory care, and day-to-day needs, all aimed at helping each person live with dignity and as much independence as possible. It's a supportive, friendly community where attention is paid to both practical needs and making the most out of life in later years.
