Vintage Park at Lenexa sits as a single-story assisted living community in Lenexa, Kansas, offering 37 apartments and 44 beds for adults aged 55 and over, and some pets can live there too, so you might see a cat or small dog about, and sometimes there are animals from the SPCA to adopt, which some folks really seem to enjoy. The building has both studio and companion apartments, including choices like the Governor's Suite and Vintage Suite, and all apartments come with a mini refrigerator and a microwave, plus there's a call system with pull cords, two-way speakers, and even a pendant residents wear if they need quick help. Staff are available 24/7, including an LPN during the workweek and C.N.A.s and C.M.A.s always on hand, and Dr. Jeena Eapen visits as the physician, with a nurse practitioner stopping by each week, so there's steady medical oversight if needed.
The community centers its assisted living on a strong support system that helps with daily activities like bathing, dressing, grooming, moving around, and handling medications, along with general counseling, skilled care, and even memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia. They'll help with groceries, offer transportation, and can step in with respite care, which can mean a short stay to recover from surgery or illness, even just for a little while, or longer if needed, and there's always access to maintenance and laundry help. The "Vibrant Living Program" and "community score" are unique features, and the Vibrant Living Program keeps a full calendar with wellness, educational, and social events-activities are meant to spark curiosity, creativity, and fun, so folks stay busy and feel part of a group if that's what they want.
Dining takes place in a modern, comfortable room called "Graceful Dining™," and there's a menu residents can always choose from, with room trays available for an extra cost, and guests are able to join for meals as well. Housekeeping, linen changes, and laundry are all handled, and you'll find both indoor and outdoor community spaces, like a meeting room, places to practice piano, fireplaces to sit by, and patios and gardens with flowers and walking areas, so people can get outside or find some quiet when they wish.
The community is near Sar-Ko-Par Trails and Black Hoof Park, so trips outside or group outings are regular, planned by staff each week, and there are even transportation services to get to appointments or stores. Residents find spiritual needs met too, since regular Protestant and Catholic services are held, and there's a barber and beautician on site for haircuts or shaves, which a lot of people like for convenience.
Vintage Park at Lenexa works as part of a larger network, all under one senior care provider, and offers home care, hospice, skilled nursing, and memory care under the same umbrella, so people can find the kind of help they need as their needs change, and there's some help with veterans benefits and support planning as well. The building stays modern after renovations, and living is billed as all-inclusive, so the cost covers meals, services, amenities, and housekeeping, just to keep things simple. Socialization is encouraged with plenty of events, entertainment, and educational opportunities, with an aim to promote independence and friendships and give support for living well, and while it might not be fancy for everyone, there's a sense of family there, and the staff try to let folks enjoy a life that's secure, comfortable, active, and as independent as possible.
