Wichita Presbyterian Manor sits on a large, peaceful campus of more than 10 acres and gives seniors a lot of choices, so folks looking for a place can find independent living, assisted living, memory care, long-term care, and short-term rehab, all in one spot. The grounds hold things like walking paths, a dog park, outdoor patios, and porch areas that look like traditional homes, especially in the Memory Care neighborhood called The Cypress, where couples can even stay together if they want, though there's a second-person fee. Independent living folks can bring pets like dogs, cats, birds, and fish if the staff approves and if they pay a non-refundable fee, and they might even choose a 2-bedroom deluxe floor plan, with some going up to 1,532 square feet, or a one-bedroom with a den, and some units have outdoor balconies or patios. Assisted living layouts have names like The Primrose, The Bluebell, The Iris, and The Sunflower, and range from 449 to 769 square feet, while the health service areas have semi-private, private, and PATH units for short-term rehab, each with their own sizes.
Inside, you're going to find common areas to sit and visit, a creative arts center, well-stocked libraries like the one in The Cottonwoods, an indoor wellness and aquatic center with exercise classes, and various event spaces for social gatherings or devotional services, which the place offers because it's a faith-based, not-for-profit community linked with the Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America. Food is covered with restaurant-style dining, room service, guest meals, and even a bistro with homemade desserts, plus special diets like gluten-free, low sodium, sugar-free, and organic if a doctor orders it, and residents can grab nutritious snacks during the day.
Wichita Presbyterian Manor has skilled nursing, with clinical staff on site 24 hours a day, and offers care for people recovering from illness or living with dementia, Alzheimer's, or high medical needs, with memory care units like The Mallow Memory Care Studio (362 square feet) and health care dining that's set up to feel like a family-style meal. Folks get personal care plans, help with daily needs like bathing and dressing, and support for non-ambulatory or high-acuity needs, including medication and incontinence care. Rehabilitation services and short-term programs like PATH® help with recovery after injury or hospital stays, and respite care is available for families needing a temporary break. Staff manage medication, screen for health or mental health concerns, offer counseling, and provide group therapy, education, and even psychological testing when needed.
The community is Medicare and Medicaid certified (though Medicaid's only for long-term care, not assisted living), and it's been part of the Presbyterian Association of Homes and Services for the Aging since 2016. The place puts focus on letting folks stay active and keep their independence with all sorts of programs and events-arts and crafts, games, offsite day trips, on-campus clubs, and wellness classes, and the maintenance-free lifestyle means people don't have to worry about things like mowing lawns or fixing leaky faucets. Bath tubs are in resident rooms, there's Wi-Fi, cable TV, and units with full kitchens for those who want to cook, and everything-from the doorways to the community spaces-has wheelchair access. Families can take part in education on mental health, substance abuse, and other topics, and everyone's got priority access to higher care levels as health needs change over time. The facility aims to provide a calm place where seniors can get the help they need while living as independently and comfortably as possible.
