SunPorch of Dodge City

SunPorch of Dodge City serves older people with different care needs, offering assisted living, independent living apartments, and skilled nursing care under one roof, which is good if someone might need more help as time goes on because you won't have to move far or feel lost, and the place has a focus on safety and independence, so folks can do as much as they're able but get help with things like dressing, taking medicine, and meals when they need it, and there's a program for memory support for people with memory issues. The facility gives private suites that try to feel like home, and it holds a license from both the state and federal government as a skilled nursing home, so they can give both long-term and short-term care, with Medicaid covering long-term and Medicare for short-term rehabilitation or after a hospital stay, and they're run as a Kansas not-for-profit 501(c)(3), which means no one's trying to make a profit off the residents, and it follows this idea of wellness, rehabilitation, and making sure everyone can still make choices and keep some freedom as they age. You'll find a strong Christian religious presence, and Sacred Heart Cathedral- a Catholic cathedral- sits close by, along with lots of other faith organizations like the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Iglesia templo Bautista fundamental Independiente, and Heaven Bound Cowboy Church, which brings a spiritual feel to the area, and there are services like funeral and memorials, cemeteries like Maple Grove Cemetery and the Kansas Veterans Cemetery at Fort Dodge, and nonprofits nearby including Manna House for food help, Dodge City Pregnancy Support, and programs like Ford County WIC Department and the Kansas Department for Children and Families for more support, plus many community groups offering educational and entertainment options so that living here doesn't feel dull, and the main aim is to help older folks have a better rest of their lives with help managing daily living but also staying busy and connected to the community.
