Sparkling Fountain Homes sits at 8525 Switzer Road in Overland Park, Kansas, where a husband and wife team of Registered Nurses run things with over 20 years of experience, and this small residential place serves up to eight seniors at a time, which helps the staff focus on personal attention, with a 4-to-1 resident-to-aide ratio that makes it easier to really care for every person, and you'll see Certified Nurse Assistants and Certified Medication Aides on hand all day and all night. The focus stays on safe and individualized care with registered nurse oversight around the clock, a variety of care such as adult care, long-term care, diabetic care, Parkinson's, hospice, Alzheimer's, and dementia care, and a mix of options like private and semi-private rooms or assisted living studios, singles, and two-bedroom units, where rooms have cable TV, kitchens or kitchenettes, washers and dryers, call light systems, sprinkler systems, handrails, and other features to help those who need support moving around. Prices vary, with nursing home private rooms running from $9,000 to $11,000 a month, semi-private rooms from $8,000 to $10,000, assisted living two-bedrooms between $3,500 and $7,000, assisted living singles from $2,500 to $6,000, and assisted living studios from $2,000 to $5,000 a month, and they do take long-term care insurance.
The property feels like a real home, with a ranch-style design, private rooms, a peaceful and serene setting, and spaces for both privacy and spending time with others, with a dining room, game or activity rooms, guest parking, WiFi, a fitness center, and outdoor areas for fresh air and gatherings. There are unique animal guests from the local SPCA up for adoption, which really brings joy for many residents, and organized activities like social events, arts and crafts, educational and wellness programs, outings, and regular indoor and outdoor activities all aim to keep people engaged and healthy, both in mind and body, and memory-stimulating activities are part of their programs too. Residents get three home-cooked meals a day, two snacks between meals, and help with eating if needed, housekeeping, maintenance, and laundry services without extra charge, plus a salon and barbershop on the premises.
Medical services include medication management and administration, wound care, skilled nursing, physical, occupational, and speech therapy through home health, podiatry visits, and daily checks, with personal care provided for dressing, bathing, grooming, toileting, and help keeping clean and dry, and the team's always ready for care needs with a call light system in place. Guest parking and transportation are available for appointments, errands, or social trips, and they offer adult daycare and respite care. Sparkling Fountain Homes adapts each care plan after a consultation and assessment, to keep privacy and dignity as top priorities, and everything's licensed and regulated by the Kansas Department of Aging. Housekeeping, laundry, and community activities come as part of ordinary living, and the atmosphere stays warm and family-like, with planned events, home and outdoor activities, and a staff dedicated to both support and companionship.
