Mothers & Others Home in Wichita, KS, serves older adults in a small, home-like setting where each resident gets more personal attention because there are only 7 or 12 residents in each house, with attentive and trained staff helping with daily needs every hour of every day, even if someone needs a high level of care or has issues like difficulty walking, diabetes, or incontinence, and they make sure people who need help with memory, like those with Alzheimer's or other dementia, have safe spaces and activities that try to keep them comfortable, active, and less confused. Families and caregivers play a part in residents' lives here, with the staff welcoming visits and getting to know everyone, and the houses have both private and semi-private rooms, private bathrooms with wheelchair-friendly showers, and meals cooked onsite, so the atmosphere is less like an institution and more like a regular home where people can sit together in shared areas, join in games, exercises, educational programs, or a prayer group, and even get their hair done by the onsite beautician or enjoy devotional services and Christian activities right in the house.
The homes sit close to local parks, cafes, churches, restaurants, pharmacies, entertainment places, and three different hospitals, and with public transit and resident parking available, it's straightforward for families to visit or for outings into the community. The place isn't big and busy like a large facility, so little things matter-staff pay attention to details and take time to make care plans that fit each resident's needs, whether that means preparing special meals, managing medications, or arranging therapies aimed at keeping minds as sharp as possible for as long as they can for those who live with dementia. Mothers & Others Home, run by Premier Living by Warden, LLC, has a long history, starting back in 1998 and always sticking to state licensing and safety rules, updating their buildings to modern standards over the years, and offering what's called "Home Plus"-care for 4-12 residents in a house-with two Wichita addresses: 1229 S. Byron Road with 7 beds, and 234 S. Anna Street with 12 beds. Amenities include onsite activities, social events, meal services, medication help, transportation, on-site beautician, and private or shared rooms, all in a peaceful and respectful environment where seniors can age with dignity and comfort.
