Southlawn Manor sits at 830 S Clay Ave in Liberal, KS, and offers a comfortable place for seniors and those with disabilities to live when they need some help but don't need the care of a nursing home, and with 72 one-bedroom apartments and 2 two-bedroom apartments, plus units set aside for people ages 62 and older or on disability, there's some flexibility in living options. The staff help people with daily tasks like dressing, eating, bathing, toileting, and moving from beds to wheelchairs, and there's also prescription drug supervision, diabetic care, ambulatory care, and special units for memory care if someone's dealing with Alzheimer's or dementia. Residents get help from trained aides with things like companionship, receiving nutritious meals prepared by chefs and meal planners, and laundry, and staff are present around the clock for emergencies, making it safer, while security cameras add a little more protection. People live in apartments-studio, one-bedroom, semi-private, and two-bedroom-where they can relax or spend time in the indoor common areas, and it's easy to get out into the community, with parks, cafes, restaurants, theaters, shops, hospitals, and transportation nearby, plus access to religious services and activities for folks who want that in their life.
The community runs many activities right on-site and also sets up events and outings to help people socialize, keep active, and enjoy new experiences, and there's both independent living for those who want less hassle and more freedom and assisted living services for people who need more support, with both private pay and benefit programs like Social Security and veteran's benefits accepted to cover costs, plus community fees, care level fees, and sometimes extra fees for therapy or medical services. The staff at Southlawn Manor are known to be friendly and helpful, which helps make the building feel welcoming, and the maintenance team keeps things in working order, while the leasing office staff can answer questions and assist with paperwork. People can use their credit or debit card to pay rent, though there might be some processing fees, and with reliable support from the staff, along with community activities and access to both indoor and outdoor gathering spaces-including a historic event venue for celebrations-residents can feel connected, cared for, and live with as much independence as possible in a supportive setting that's part of the City of Liberal's Low Income Housing Program for those who qualify.
