Atria Hearthstone East and West is a senior living community in Topeka, Kansas, that sits on ten acres of land with open Kansas prairie, walking trails, gardens, and outdoor spaces, so folks have room to walk or relax outside if they want to. The place offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and short-term respite stays, which means residents can get help as their needs change, or just stay for a while if they're recovering or if a caregiver needs a break. The apartments include cozy studio and one-bedroom options with private bathrooms, spacious closets, large windows, and quiet carpet, so it's easy to make the space feel like home. Residents can join activities like outings to restaurants, family nights, music events, trivia, arts and crafts, and special programs for those living with Alzheimer's and dementia, such as Along the Journey.
There's a focus on supporting independence while giving help with things like bathing, dressing, and taking medicine, and staff are available around the clock for safety. Memory care and assisted living residents have special support and activities that reduce confusion and keep them active and comfortable. The dining services give three meals a day with attention to nutrition, and there are both restaurant-style meals and outdoor dining spaces. The grounds have courtyards, patios, and spots to sit quietly and enjoy the trees. Pets are welcome, and there's pet therapy, too. There's free Wi-Fi, housekeeping, laundry, beauty shop and barber services, a concierge desk, and rides for appointments, shopping, or just a trip to the park. Nearby medical facilities like Stormont Vail Health and St. Francis Health Center are close by if health needs pop up. The atmosphere is friendly, with staff who get to know residents and notice the little details that matter. The community tries to include everyone in life enrichment programs for mind, body, and spirit, with a calendar full of recreation, social events, and wellness checks, making it possible for folks to keep their routines, friendships, and sense of independence.
