Quaker Hill

Quaker Hill sits over in Baxter Springs, KS, and you'll find they keep things pretty steady and down to earth with an average of 44 residents each day in a place that holds up to 53 certified beds, and folks can check it out for themselves by arranging a tour-they don't mind showing guests the floors, residents doing activities, and friendly care partners at work, and what you see is what you get-an older community with a lodge-like feel and comfortable spaces that feel like home. They've got skilled nursing services run by Americare, and they help people figure out what care level fits best with a personalized evaluation, so some residents get assisted living, others memory care-especially for those living with Alzheimer's or dementia-or more advanced healthcare needs like high acuity care, diabetic care, incontinence help, and even non-ambulatory care, plus Home Health Solutions after a stay if needed, and ongoing therapy for folks staying long term trying to keep their strength and mobility up or get back home after illness or surgery with the Rehab-to-Home program that blends physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Their staff work around the clock, 24-hour care is standard, and care partners try to make residents feel welcomed, safe, and independent as possible, but also keep an eye on things-security's a focus and so is peace of mind, though they do have deficiencies on record, with twelve noted at the last inspection, including concerns with food procurement, environmental safety, and making sure resident rights are respected, and a nurse turnover rate of 42.2% over a year isn't the lowest, but there are 3.47 nursing hours per person each day and Americare has run the place since 2001. The company that owns Quaker Hill is R H Montgomery Properties, with Anna and Richard Montgomery each holding 50% indirectly, and it's all set up as a for-profit limited liability company, so it operates like a business, but still ties in with Americare Senior Living. They're open about helping residents with Medicaid and Medicare paperwork, making it easier to move in or plan long term, and the community itself offers long-term care, respite stays, rehabilitation, and even in-home care for individuals with developmental disabilities or dementia, which makes them a fit for a pretty broad group of seniors. Amenities are what you'd expect-spacious rooms, social activities, places to park, transportation if needed, and wheelchair accessible showers, with details and room photos available to see before deciding. Families and residents get resources and support, and it's all set on a campus offering different levels of care, so if someone's needs change, services can adjust without having to move out. Social environments mix older adults together, keeping community ties strong while giving folks the help they need, and the atmosphere stays welcoming without being fancy or over the top.
