Cumbernauld Village sits at 716 N Tweed St in Winfield, Kansas, and pretty much covers a wide range of senior living needs under one roof, from folks who are still pretty independent to those who need extra care day and night, including people with memory conditions like Alzheimer's, because the place includes dedicated memory care units along with apartments for both independent and assisted living and even full nursing home care, so they've squeezed a lot of living options together. Residents get choices between apartments and garden homes that range around 900-1200 square feet and come in both one- and two-bedroom layouts, all designed for seniors in mind, like with bathrooms that have easier access and modern decor, and there's outside maintenance included which lightens the load for those who move in wanting fewer chores. There are two lakes on the property, stocked for fishing, and a network of walking paths that snake through gardens and community landscaping projects that people can help with if they like to keep busy with their hands in the dirt. Folks can eat with others in communal dining rooms, and the dietary manager, Mark Cook, sees to meal service, while activity programs are run by Leah Edwards, who keeps the calendar full.
The place is open all day and night, with Licensed Nurses always around to help, and there's a 24-hour Resident Call System for anyone in assisted living who needs quick help. There's also one-on-one care for people who require more help, with options to tailor the support to fit what each person needs. Misty Finney coordinates the apartments, and Amber Bryant oversees the nursing side, making sure the health care stays as homelike as possible while covering the physical and medical needs required in each situation. The executive director, Sarah Griggs, manages things overall, with support from folks like Rhonda Goodrum in the business office, Heather Deets in environmental services, and Ryan Conover on social services, who're all on hand to answer questions or help residents and families navigate daily changes.
The place runs a "Little Vikes" program, though there's not much info on what that involves, and offers computer classes in Windows, Word, Excel, Visual Basic, and even web design, database programming, and computer repair, reaching over 500 students at different community spots like health care centers and schools and offering online options for adults, seniors, and young people who want to learn from home, which isn't something you see everywhere. Family, friends, and groups can visit as long as they arrange it ahead of time, and staff provide advice and planning for seniors and families sorting out the next steps. Cumbernauld Village is a not-for-profit place and says it tries to feel like home, with both privacy and help whenever someone needs it, plus activities, programs, and spaces designed to make daily life easier and more connected for older adults.
