Credo Memory Care - Chanute sits at 705 Osa Martin Blvd in the calm, open town of Chanute, Kansas, surrounded by big skies and gentle plains that you can see from the verandas and outdoor patios, where folks often like to sit and watch the day move along or spend some time tending to the plants with the gardening group, so you really get a sense of peace in this quiet area. The place is small, with only eight private suites, each coming with a cozy bed, a comfortable armchair, and plenty of closet space, and you can choose from a few different floor plans to best fit what you need. This is a secured community designed for seniors who have Alzheimer's disease or other memory challenges. The staff offers memory and assisted living services and even some independent living options, with a focus on helping residents stay active, safe, and as independent as possible.
They serve three meals a day in a restaurant-style dining room set with white linens and fresh flowers, and the meals are planned by chefs and meal planners who make sure the food is both tasty and healthy. Each resident can expect personal care plans that match their needs, including help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and medicine reminders, along with long-term medication management and regular support from skilled nurses around the clock. Devotional and religious services happen right on site for folks who want to practice their faith, and the building is wired for cable and high-speed internet, so there's access to TV, WiFi, and an on-site library for quiet time with a good book.
There are lots of activities, both inside and outside the community, and they tailor most group activities like bingo, crafts, gardening, yoga, game nights, story time, and a resident music group for those with memory loss. The on-site gym, recreation room, common areas with TVs, arts and crafts room, and an activities lounge give people plenty to do. Staff organize social outings, lectures, and educational programs too. They let guests join for meals and even let them stay overnight sometimes, so visiting is always encouraged. Safety is important here, so there are secure grounds, emergency call systems in each suite, walk-in tubs for easy access, medical alert systems from companies like Bay Alarm Medical, Medical Guardian, and ADT Medical Alert, and all rooms are designed to lower risks for those who might wander.
The community allows certain pets, and home care services are available to help with cleaning, laundry, and even companionship if someone could use a friend around. Residents can park their cars on site, and the staff offers free transportation to offsite activities. They also provide respite care for short stays and hospice services when needed, with skilled nursing ready to step in whenever health needs change. The pricing is all-inclusive, with studio rooms starting at $6,275 per month. This facility is part of Credo Senior Living, run with an interim director named Barbie Baughn, and is meant to provide clear routines, comfort, and meaningful activities in a clean, homelike environment, with always a helping hand nearby for those who call it home.
