Presbyterian Manors III

Presbyterian Manors III sits in Parsons, Kansas, and offers several living options that include independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, long-term care, and short-term rehabilitation, so folks can get the right level of support as their needs change over time, and the place is faith-based, built on Christian values, with a not-for-profit approach that helps shape the community's caring environment, and in terms of actual spaces, there are unique two-bedroom duplexes named The Glenwood, The Ironhorse, and The Carnegie, each with garages or carports, and smaller studios like The Oakwood, The Katy, and The Forest, which have kitchenettes and full or half baths, while inside the homes, you'll find modern kitchens with nice cabinets and stainless steel appliances, and over the grounds, there are open dining rooms with lots of daylight, living rooms set up for comfort, multipurpose spaces meant for activities or quiet time, and gardens with walking paths, fountains, and flowerbeds where folks can relax or enjoy the outdoors. The community decor stands out with stained glass, floral patterns, and artwork, and residents can use the fitness room, chapel, library, movie theater, arts and crafts room, salon, and other activity areas for social and wellness programs, with regular group activities, movie nights, book-filled lounges, and even resident-run events to keep things interesting. A dedicated team of nurses, including RNs, LPNs, and CNAs, provides 24-hour care, with help for daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and medication, plus there are physical, occupational, and speech therapy programs made for each person, and the staff helps with transfers, support for non-ambulatory residents, and incontinence care, as well as diabetic care and other health services, not to mention personalized counseling and family support. Residents have a 24-hour call system for quick help, and those in independent living can bring approved pets such as dogs, cats, birds, or fish, paying a non-refundable $500 pet fee, and the pet-friendly policy adds to the home-like feel. There's a "just ASK" wellness program for lifelong skills and growth, with counseling built around each individual's needs, and the overall environment feels rooted in respect, dignity, and purpose, shaped by professional staff-including helpful folks like sales specialist Natae Nash-guiding residents and families through transitions. Dining includes restaurant-style meals in common dining rooms, with special diets for diabetes and allergies, and room features can include private bathrooms, cable TV, kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and furnished options. Services extend to housekeeping, laundry, and help moving in, while the community accepts Medicaid in approved long-term care settings and is HCBS-certified for assisted living. There's emphasis on spiritual activities, with devotional opportunities, as well as social, cultural, and educational events, and corridors and common spaces usually feel bright and welcoming, dashed with vibrant decor and a steady focus on both companionship and personal care. Whether someone needs a little help now and then, full-time assistance, or specialized dementia services, the community offers several options without losing the neighborly feel or focus on individual wellbeing.
