Phillips County Retirement Center sits right in Phillipsburg, Kansas, and folks know it for offering both assisted living and skilled nursing care, and there's round-the-clock support from licensed nurses, therapists, and professional caregivers who look after people at all stages of aging, even those with memory impairments who need special memory care services that fit their needs. In this place, there are options for independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, and even home care, both non-medical and Medicare-certified, so people can get help at home if that's what works for them. The Center operates as a non-profit and belongs to a Continuing Care Retirement Community, where people can stay in the same community even as their needs change, and they can move between different types of care from active adult living up to skilled nursing, or get help from places like Prairie Wind Villa or Logan Manor for assisted living, and folks from Hospice Services, Inc. and Logan Manor Home Health come by to help too.
Every resident gets an individualized care plan, and staff help with medication management, bathing, dressing, transfers, and there's always someone on duty, day and night. The community has a 24-hour call system and supports people who can't walk as well as those who can, making it friendly for different ability levels. Meals are made every day and served in a dining room, or folks can get meals suited for special diets, including low-sugar options for diabetes, and if folks like to eat together, there's even all-day dining options. Rooms are available both private and semi-private, and they come furnished, with a telephone in every room. For folks who don't want to bother with chores, there's housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and the staff also arrange transportation if someone needs to get around town.
There's a barber and beauty shop right on site for haircuts and personal grooming, and the community puts on regular movie nights, arts and crafts in the arts room, daily scheduled activities, and gets residents outside on walking paths or into the garden when the weather's nice. People join in on social, cultural, and spiritual activities, with special events and holiday celebrations through the year. There are also rooms for residents to run their own events or join in community-sponsored activities. Someone is always available to help with supervision, and the environment is set up with safety in mind, from emergency alert systems to wheelchair-accessible features.
Even though the place holds a lower 1-star nursing home rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, many community reviews rate it 9 out of 10 and folks appreciate the strong service for seniors in Phillips County. Phillips County Retirement Center also works together with Phillipsburg Retirement Center, Prairie Wind Villa, and other local housing apartments and agencies, with adult daycare services and Alzheimer's care available through these partners. For health and peace of mind, it's Medicaid certified and connects to nearby health facilities, and the community works to offer a straightforward and supportive place for older adults to live and receive whatever care they might need as the years go by.
