Homestead Estates of Wichita sits in a well-landscaped residential neighborhood at 10550 E 21st St N, Wichita, Kansas, where you'll notice it's pretty quiet but still near several hospitals and schools like Minneha Core Knowledge Elementary and Coleman Middle. This place runs as a Cottages feature community, focusing on a laid-back yet active senior lifestyle, with options for independent living, assisted living, memory care, and even skilled nursing services or respite care, all on a single-level campus so you won't have to deal with stairs or elevators. The apartments are private, semi-private, or two-bedroom and come with their own kitchen appliances, washer and dryer, and Wi-Fi, so you can make the space your own, and you won't have to worry about cleaning or laundry because they have both regular and private housekeeping, plus flat linen and dry cleaning, and if you need special help there's medication reminders, medication administration, and support with bathing or dressing.
Residents have round-the-clock support from a mix of certified caregivers, on-call nurses, and a part-time nurse, which means you can get continual care, skilled nursing, physical therapy, and rehabilitation as needs change. Safety gets boosted with features like an emergency call system and a homelike memory care setting to help avoid confusion or wandering. You also get a sense of community with shared meals-three home-cooked ones each day, if you want them-and a variety of social programs like game nights, music activities, Nintendo Wii bowling, and facilitated outings. If you want to relax, you can use the indoor pool or Jacuzzi, visit the outdoor patios or gardens, and there's even a chapel on site. There's a fitness center, community dining, salon and barber services, special religious services, plus recreation rooms with cable TV and guest parking, so visiting family can come by for meals or overnight.
The whole campus is pet-friendly so your furry friends are welcome, and the staff can give financial guidance and flexible month-to-month rental plans with no buy-in fees and no penalties if you need to change rooms. Residents generally need a car to get around, as transit and walk scores show it's car-dependent, but they also provide free transportation for shopping or medical trips. You'll see various activities on the calendar, music, educational and recreational programs, and regular outings, with friendly staff helping out in all areas, from meal service to room maintenance. The buildings are older, dating back to 2000, and they've tried to make things simple, comfortable, and welcoming for adults aged 55 and up, keeping things well-maintained and easy to use, no matter what changes come up in daily life.
