Clover Care Home

Clover Care Home sits in Shawnee, Kansas, in a country setting that adds to its inviting feel, and the place offers private rooms with private baths for seniors who need memory care or assisted living, and one thing folks notice is the smaller home environment that lets staff really cater to each person's needs, and that's something the owner, who's actually an Occupational Therapist, seems to care about. The care home takes folks with Alzheimer's and dementia, and they've got a purpose-built memory care unit that's its own building, so they can focus on therapies and routines for people who wander or might be at higher risk, even using alarm bracelets to help prevent wandering, which keeps everyone safer and a bit more at ease. They have 24-hour awake care, certified nursing staff during the day and night, and team members like a personal cook and a house manager, so somebody's always close at hand if help's needed, whether for medication, special diets, behavior problems, or transfers-they can handle everything from one-person to two-person transfers and have mechanical lifts ready. There's memory care that includes music therapy, life enrichment programs, outings, activities onsite and offsite, so residents keep their minds and bodies active as much as possible, and meals are home-cooked and focused on healthy eating, sometimes even eaten out in either indoor or outdoor common areas when the weather's good, and those who smoke can do so outside in a designated spot, which is rare. The home keeps a strong focus on social engagement and making transitions smooth, so residents feel supported, and the staff work to make everything feel as much like a family home as they can, especially for those with memory loss or behavioral needs. There's parking and transportation for residents, though rides cost a bit extra. Those who need insulin shots or blood sugar checks can get that help, and the home can even take people with high needs or those who act out physically. Costs for a private memory care room run about $6,500 a month with a $1,500 community fee, though there's a range for private room pricing depending on needs. Reviews are solid-three people have rated the place, giving it an average of 4.5 stars. All in all, Clover Care Home offers a healthcare-focused home for seniors who need specialized memory or behavioral care, and tries to keep things comfortable, safe, and more like home than an institution.
