The Pines Of Hiawatha sits in Hiawatha, Kansas and offers a small, home-like setting for seniors with only eight beds, which means folks here get more one-on-one attention and care. The place covers a lot, from assisted living and memory care to respite care, skilled nursing, adult daycare, hospice, and even home care, so seniors have options whether they need a little help or much more. Licensed in Kansas as a board and care home (license # B007004), The Pines gives help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and moving around, plus things like medication management and special care for conditions like dementia or Parkinson's.
The building looks and feels more like a big family home than an institution, offering both private and semi-private rooms, studio units, senior apartments, and shared apartments, all furnished and with things like cable, phone lines, and WiFi included. Meals are prepared daily for each resident's needs, including special diets for things like diabetes or allergies, and there's a Meals On Wheels service for those who need it. Residents can join in on regular activities like movie nights, arts and crafts, games, community gardening, and social programs. The care team is available 24/7, including staff who are trained and certified to handle more complicated healthcare needs and medical emergencies.
The Pines stays active online, using mobile apps and tools to manage its business, keep up with reviews, and connect with families on places like Google My Business and Facebook Reviews, aiming to be transparent and up-to-date. They run a blog with details on things like healthcare reputation and keep parents and families in the loop, too, with online chat and messaging options. Their building includes a dining room, café, courtyard, wellness center, theater, private dining and games rooms, walking paths, a beauty shop, and concierge and transportation services, including rides to doctor appointments, shopping, or outings. There's laundry, dry cleaning, and cleaning for every room, plus move-in help to make settling in a little easier.
Residents get routine health checks, help with escorting around the building, incontinence care, physical therapy, and support for moving in and out. The community tries to keep everyone engaged, safe, and feeling included, focusing on physical and emotional well-being alongside the basics, and encourages independence with social activities and care that fits each person. The Pines doesn't allow pets but does offer a quiet, comfortable environment where dignity and individuality matter. They've got a five-star rating so far, though it comes from a single review. You can find them online at http://thepinesofhiawatha.com/, and the doors are open weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
