Country Club Estates sits in a calm place where elders get assisted living, memory care, and independent living all in the same community, which some might like, since you can try a few things and see what fits best, and because the staff offers round-the-clock support for things like taking medicine, bathing, or dealing with mobility changes, you can move in knowing you'll get help with bathroom visits, hygiene, and even special health needs like insulin injections and incontinence care, as well as daily living help for folks needing more hands-on support, and they say they're licensed for about 22 residents by the State of Kansas Department of Social Services, so it's not too big, which some people might find more personal or comfortable if crowds aren't your thing.
You can choose private or shared suites with furniture all set up, and there's always been some talk about the meals, as residents get between one and three a day with an eye on special diets; the kitchen staff can manage for conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, so meals are adjusted if the doctor says so, and there's laundry and housekeeping services to keep up with chores. For staying busy or feeling social, you find on-site activity directors who set up daily activities, art programs, music sessions, and fitness classes, as well as music therapy, animal therapy, games in the recreation room, community evening events, and quiet reading in the small library if that's more your style, plus outings and field trips, and a wellness room, plus a sauna and hot tub for those interested. You can step outside for some air in managed outdoor areas, while also having transport arranged for medical visits, shopping, or even religious services if you're so inclined, all set up by the facility so you or your family don't have to drive around town.
Folks interested in golf or living near a country club notice it's tied to Halifax Plantation and has some country club access, which has gotten a few golf fans' interest, though plenty live there just enjoying the open feeling, the large modern great room where people gather, the beauty salon and barber for a little grooming, and the simple peace of mind knowing there's always support in the building, day or night, especially for the people dealing with memory loss, dementia, or Alzheimer's, as memory care has its own set of routines, therapies, and spaces designed for safety and comfort. There's even a mental wellness program meant to promote positive thinking, which can matter on the tough days. You see everything from help with mobility to home care help for daily tasks and companionship, making it a spot that tries to meet people where they are, whether they're still pretty independent, need extra health and mobility support, or just want a place to stay for a short break using respite care or even hospice support if it's needed.
