Washington Heights in Hutchinson, Kansas, sits at 2700 N Washington St and serves seniors age 62 and older with a wide mix of care options and apartment living, offering 76 total units in a six-story, brick-built building that's both smoke-free and pet-friendly-with one small dog or cat allowed per apartment, as long as they're under 20 pounds, at least a year old, and the pet deposit is paid. This is a 55+ income-based community where residents live in one-bedroom or two-bedroom units, with all utilities like heat, water, electric, trash removal, and sewer included in the rent, so it makes budgeting simple and you don't have to worry about unexpected bills, and the apartments have central heat and air conditioning, ovens, ranges, refrigerators, double sinks, garbage disposals, carpeting and vinyl flooring, window blinds, and an emergency call system for peace of mind. There's off-street parking for those who drive and public bus stops nearby for anyone who uses public transit, and with grocery stores, shopping, dining, and health facilities close by in northern Hutchinson, residents have the essentials within easy reach, which is pretty handy. The grounds outside have landscaped areas, walking trails, and spaces for recreation or community events, including a playground for enjoying visits from grandkids.
Inside, Washington Heights has a remodeled community room with a full kitchen for dinners, birthday parties, or scheduled group activities, indoor mailboxes, trash chutes on each floor to avoid the walk outside in bad weather, an on-site laundromat, and an elevator for getting around the building easily, and the friendly staff handle on-site management and maintenance, including 24/7 emergency repairs, which means broken things get fixed in a hurry whether it's late at night or early in the morning. There's a service coordinator on-site too, helping seniors with things like arranging for support services or connecting to resources.
The community covers many levels of care all in one place, from active adult living with maintenance-free apartments and lots of social activities, to long-term care and skilled nursing for those needing help around the clock, rehabilitation, therapy, or nursing services, and they offer Medicare-certified home health care, non-medical home care, hospice care, respite care for short-term stays and relief for caregivers, and memory care that's secure and designed for those with Alzheimer's or dementia to help keep them safe and involved. Staff can help with daily needs, meals, medication management, and keeping residents as independent as possible, while those in independent living apartments can choose added support if it's ever needed. Washington Heights has senior-friendly features, an active schedule, and many choices for how to live, whether you want independent living, need a little help, or require full nursing or memory care-the place lets folks stay in one community as life changes.
