Prairie Haven Nursing Home, found at 613 N Main St in Kensington, Kansas, is a senior living community with a unique name and some straightforward care services, and folks sometimes list it at 313 N Main St too, but you'll find the main building up at 613. Prairie Haven has a broad set of care options, so people who need assisted living, memory care for things like Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia, or even full skilled nursing care can find a place, and there's help for regular daily activities, taking medicine on time, as well as personal care and meals with nutrition in mind, since the kitchen team focuses on making sure food is both decent and healthy. The staff help residents keep busy, with all sorts of physical, social, and mental activities, and there's always a nurse around. Some folks stop by for a short time if caregivers need a break, using respite care, and for those needing extra hospice services or wound care or rehab, that's available too.
The memory care section is certified and has 24-hour support, secure rooms and gardens to prevent wandering, special programs for memory, and even butterfly gardens and raised beds outside if someone likes digging in the dirt or bird-watching. The campus has a ballroom, a billiards room, old-fashioned game rooms, a woodworking shop if someone wants to make something useful, a small library, computer spot, spa, and a movie theater room for shows and events-they haven't forgotten about card games, either, and there's a courtyard and patio spaces for a breath of air. People who like to stay fit can use the small fitness center, or if they want to look good, there's a beauty and barber salon. If folks want more privacy, there are companion suites, plus private dining rooms for family meals, uncovered and covered parking for cars, and spaces for guests if someone drops by.
Prairie Haven makes a point to give plenty of support for people who need close medical care, including high acuity care for hard health problems, physical therapy for those who need help getting stronger, and help for anybody handling incontinence. Housing is designed for safety, with security gates, secured neighborhoods for dementia care, and attention given to keeping things simple so folks don't get confused. They offer all three main levels of care-assisted living that covers daily basics; memory care for those with memory loss; and full nursing home care for those who need skilled staff all the time, either short or long-term. Staff are known for being helpful and cheerful, and the main goal is to make sure each resident gets the right mix of independence and support, with flexible care packages and extra services if anyone needs laundry or dry cleaning, medication help, guest services, or even meals in the private dining room.
Prairie Haven is listed as a partner with A Place For Mom, which helps families and seniors find the right care fit, and the combination of homes, medical services, and social activity, wrapped up with a focus on safety and personal attention, makes it a steady choice for people in the Kensington area who need different kinds of senior living all in one spot, and if someone wants to know about specific rates for assisted living or memory care, those details are available by asking directly.
