Homestead of Abilene Memory Care sits in Abilene, Kansas, and focuses on caring for people with memory impairment, like Alzheimer's and dementia, offering both memory care and assisted living services in a warm, comfortable community. The building includes private apartments, communal spaces with bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, lounges, and entertainment rooms like the North entertainment room, plus a kitchen and studio, with some floor plans offering studios or one-bedroom apartments so residents can personalize their space. There's a secure courtyard with walking paths and outdoor areas for fresh air, and the interior spaces feel home-like, cozy, and safe, which helps people with memory loss. Certified and licensed staff customize care plans so residents get the right support for needs like dressing, bathing, and medication help, and the full-time activity director organizes plenty of trips, games, music, exercise sessions, and social or spiritual gatherings, even including organ playing and reading groups, so folks can stay active and engaged.
The community lets residents bring cats or dogs, and it has inviting areas like a card/game room, the beauty salon, fitness center, meditation or worship space, and even a sunroom or screened porch. Amenities cover meals-three home-cooked dishes each day-weekly housekeeping, laundry services, personal care, and all maintenance, with chef-prepared food that tries to be nutritious and tasty, not to mention the staff will drive residents to appointments or outings if needed. Residents who like to go out can join staff-led trips or use complimentary transportation, while those who want to stay home can take part in a structured program with plenty of activities made to help memory, lessen confusion, and reduce wandering.
Each private unit comes with cable or satellite TV, an emergency call system, a kitchenette, and a private bathroom, and families can take some comfort knowing the community keeps things secure for those most at risk-there's also 24/7 assistance on site. Residents can have their hair styled or enjoy friendly visits in the lounge, and the care team gives medication reminders, manages prescriptions, and works to meet each person's needs with kindness. The facility is part of the larger Midwest Health Family of Communities, offering a choice of care levels including skilled nursing, home care, adult day services, home health, and hospice, which means people can stay if their needs change. While some gatherings happen right on site, devotional services are also offered offsite, so residents have choices. Homestead of Abilene Memory Care is current with state licensing, and the team strives to foster a welcoming, supportive place for seniors and their loved ones.
