Sunset Home Inc sits close to downtown Concordia, KS, in a spot that has open country spaces but is still near the Cloud County Health Center and a few local pharmacies, and the place has been a well-known nursing home and care facility for over a century now, offering housing and help for seniors in a range of living situations, whether someone needs just a little bit of help or more skilled nursing care. The facility runs as a non-profit and has 33 residential health care beds, 15 assisted living beds, and 45 nursing facility beds, as well as some independent living apartments that give residents privacy and options free from chores and home upkeep, and they offer Adult Day Services for those who need care throughout the day but don't live there full-time. Sunset Home supports independence while providing round-the-clock supervision, a 24-hour call system, and help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, eating, and medication reminders, and if someone needs more medical support, the skilled nursing area is there for both long-term or short-term recovery.
Seniors who move in can choose rooms that come furnished or semi-furnished, with some two-room apartments including kitchenettes and direct outdoor access, though they don't allow oven ranges for safety, but small fridges and microwaves can go in some apartments. The staff takes care of housekeeping, laundry, and dry-cleaning, so residents can focus on other things, and meal services are available for all residents, including special menus if someone needs a diabetic or allergy-sensitive diet, with all-day dining and snacks offered, and there's space for eating together in communal dining rooms. Residents stay active with arts and crafts, games, movie nights, socials, and access to an arts room, or they can get outside on landscaped walking paths or visit nearby community parks and gardens, and the community brings in events and activities sponsored by local groups. A salon and barber services are on-site for grooming needs, and there's transportation available for errands, appointments, or just moving in, with parking for visitors and residents.
The facility does coordinate health care and therapy with outside providers and offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy, so someone recovering from surgery or managing health challenges can get the help they need, and medication management is available for those who need reminders or help taking the right medicines on time. There are secured Memory Care spaces for seniors living with dementia, where staff supervise and assist them in a safe environment. The emergency alert system, extra wide hallways, and open community spaces help residents feel both safe and comfortable, and the staff helps with transfers, bathing, dressing, and support for those who can't walk on their own. Sunset Home provides a place where seniors and their families can count on compassionate, professional care in a setting that's been trusted for generations, and all these things come together to aim for a life that's safer, easier, and filled with more chances to enjoy each day.
