Senior Citizens Village

Senior Citizens Village sits over on Grant Avenue in Baxter Springs, Kansas, surrounded by quiet green spaces and walking paths with gardens, a fishable lake, and even a historic chapel nearby, so folks can enjoy both peace and something to look at every day if they want, and then if someone wants to spend time with others, there's a big community center, lounges, a library, and arts and crafts rooms, plus an auditorium, ballroom, billiard room, performing arts center, Bocce court, putting green, cinema, and several spots for things like gardening or pickleball, and anyone who likes staying busy can join in creative arts or horticultural programs or simple social events with visiting hours going all day and night. The staff at Senior Citizens Village offer help for seniors looking for independent living or needing some extra support, so there's memory care, Alzheimer's care, respite care for short stays, nursing and rehabilitation care for folks recovering or needing more help, and then continuing care and LifeCare programs if conditions change, with home care and hospice for those who want to stay in their suite as long as possible, and there's adult day care too if a little break or extra company suits someone's fancy. The place lets people choose from private or shared suites, each with private showers, whirlpool spa, individual climate control, and there's guest rooms available for family or friends, private dining rooms if someone wants to eat with just a few, and regular meal plans made by a chef, and if someone needs help with getting clean, dressing, managing medication, or just staying safe, the staff tracks each person's needs and checks up on things like hygiene and social activities. Around the property, folks find useful things like a bistro grille, a notary service, on-site postal service, mail delivery, a bank, beauty shop, laundry, dry cleaning, bus or van rides for appointments, shopping, or church since there's eight places of worship nearby, plus close-by pharmacies and healthcare if someone needs a doctor. There's also a housing chaplain to offer support. Senior Citizens Village fits both those living on their own and those who want more attention from staff, and there's wheelchair access all over, elevators, and safety features, so people don't have to worry about stairs or accidents. Folks living here can keep small pets, plant vegetables in a garden plot, enjoy indoor pools or spa baths, get haircuts at the salon, and use places like a computer lab or WiFi throughout the buildings, which helps with staying in touch, and they can park in surface or underground spots or get rides if they no longer drive. The community got awards for care and tries to keep things simple and friendly with a culture of kindness, and there's an advisor service to help families figure out what kind of help fits best. This place offers help with basic daily activities for people who can't live safely alone anymore but don't need full nursing care, and really tries to offer a steady home where seniors can relax, join in when they feel like it, and find the care or company they need as the years change.
