Salem Home sits in Hillsboro, Kansas, and has cared for seniors since 1880. The facility provides different care levels including Independent Living, Assisted Living, Adult Daycare, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing, and Long-Term Care for those who need ongoing help. Residents get care designed for their needs through personal care plans. The staff help with bathing, dressing, medication, and daily activities, and they supervise care twenty-four hours a day with an emergency alert system and a 24-hour call system for safety.
Salem Home offers specialized services like memory care, speech therapy, occupational and physical therapy, pain management, and stroke recovery. Nurses and registered staff are on duty daily, with a nurse quality rating of B+ and an A-minus for long-term care from facility inspections. People who need short-term care between hospital and home can use the inpatient and rehabilitation programs, including respite stays for temporary support. Non-ambulatory residents can also get care here.
The community supports senior physical and mental well-being with recreation and therapy. There are activities run by residents and community sponsors, and staff plan group programs such as fitness classes, arts and crafts, movies, and outings. The facility features a garden, walking paths, comfortable community areas, and a barber/salon. Apartments, including those for independent living, have telephones and modern touches, and housekeeping is included. The dining room serves all-day, restaurant-style meals with healthy options for allergies and diabetes.
Salem Home's continuing care retirement model means one location offers a home with changing support as needs grow. The nonprofit status puts focus on compassion, dignity, and quality of life. There's support for home care, home health, hospice, and referrals. The facility is open seven days a week from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm. People there talk about comfortable rooms, activities, and a caring environment where seniors' physical, emotional, and social needs are taken seriously. Residents benefit from programs for life enhancement, socialization, creative expression, and educational workshops, and families say the respite and adult daycare programs help seniors stay connected and cared for.
