THE BOGART HOUSE sits in Topeka, Kansas, in a mainly middle-class area, and you'll find it close to everyday needs like parks, pharmacies, doctors, hospitals, and churches, while the surroundings feel calm and neighborly, so you won't feel far from anything important. This community offers both assisted living and memory care services, focusing on small-scale living with only 3 assisted living units in total-these include private studio, one-bedroom, and shared apartments, each designed for comfort and quiet. The Bogart House has two sites, The Bogart House I and The Bogart House II, both caring for just a handful of residents, which gives everyone more attention and a homely setting that many larger places don't have.
Staff here help residents with daily routines such as bathing, dressing, grooming, moving around, using the bathroom, and keeping up with medications, and there's always someone awake at all hours for safety, including a licensed nurse onsite and on-call services if needed, so families don't have to worry about urgent care. The care team can assist with more complicated needs, too, like wound care, speech therapy, and incontinence support, plus memory care services for people dealing with Alzheimer's or dementia, using secure spaces, special programs, and activities to help residents stay engaged. You get help with meal prep and eating, plus meals are cooked in-house, served fresh daily, and can be adjusted for health needs like diabetes or high blood pressure, and there's all-day dining, snacks, or special diets available plus a private dining area for family visits.
Everyday chores like laundry and cleaning are included, and the facility provides regular visits and checkups with doctors, medication supervision, and pharmacy delivery, plus help with moving between appointments, which can be helpful since there are more than a dozen nearby pharmacies and plenty of specialists in the area. Residents can join in group activities, fitness classes, outings, game nights, movie nights, music programs, and creative workshops, and the amenities include a hair salon, book room, game area, garden, walking trails, fitness space, and sometimes a sauna or jacuzzi if the facility's schedule and equipment allow. There are emergency call buttons and all rooms are fitted with safety systems, and if someone has a fall or needs quick help, it's easy for staff to respond fast.
Transportation services run to doctor appointments, shopping trips, and local churches, making life easier without a car, but the facility itself has plenty of parking for visitors. The living spaces come furnished, and the facility welcomes pet therapy visits, but doesn't allow residents to keep their own pets in the rooms. Every resident gets an individual care plan, and staff adjust routines and services as needs change over time, which can be comforting as health requirements shift. THE BOGART HOUSE is licensed by Kansas's Department of Social Services under license number B089072, so it's regulated and monitored. The whole community is built for older adults needing support with day-to-day living, and the small size means the care feels personal and familiar, with regular tours offered for people considering a move, so families can stop by and see it for themselves.
