Home Plus

Home Plus, known as Country Place Home Plus Scandia, sits in a regular neighborhood in Scandia, KS, where seniors live in a house-like setting with just ten units, which makes it quieter than the big places, and it gives everyone a little more space and personal attention, you know, and this means there's always help from staff around the clock if someone needs a hand with things like bathing, dressing, medication, meals, or just getting around, and there's also memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia with things like memory-enhancing activities and wandering prevention in a place built to keep people safe and comfortable, and you'll find independent living, too, for those who can do more on their own but want some friendly neighbors around, all in a building with a poured concrete foundation, a fenced yard, ramped entry for easier access, and a sprinkler security system for peace of mind. The place offers several types of units, like studios, one-bedrooms, and some shared options, all with non-slip floors and private ADA bathrooms, so people can stay safe, and the communal rooms include a roomy dining area, a family room with a fireplace, a big kitchen with new appliances and room for gatherings, a theatre, wellness programs, and laundry. You get three daily meals prepared with nutrition in mind by chefs and meal planners who pay attention to vitamins and ingredients, and there's daily help with chores like laundry, basic housekeeping, and moving around, plus there are transportation services, moving help, and even therapy on-site for those bouncing back from surgery or dealing with wounds. For folks who enjoy keeping busy, there are games, daily activities, social events, fitness and fall prevention classes, arts and crafts, and a games room, while the outdoor gardens and courtyard give everyone a chance to get some fresh air or garden a bit. There's memory care, skilled nursing with on-site RNs conducting health screenings, support for incontinence, rehabilitation, escorting within the facility, and round-the-clock medical care for those who need it, as well as hospice and respite services for families needing a break or extra care. Pets are allowed-cats and dogs-and there's a salon, café, pharmacy services, big TVs, a community kitchen, and easy-to-read menus for those who like choices. Family outreach, guest services, counseling, and support programs help loved ones stay connected, and the social parts matter, too, with regular chapel services and bridge games, plus the whole place is secure with apartment locks, a concrete basement partly finished for more use, and plenty of space to adapt as needs change. Home Plus is part of the Country Place Living network, has a Kansas license number B079004, and allows you to look up pricing and availability, plus search for other care communities with services such as assisted living, independent living, memory care, skilled nursing, respite, hospice, rehab, and adult day care, which is handy since sometimes people have different needs as they get older or if their health changes, and there's a reason why people like these small, homey places even though the community review score is pretty low at 1 out of 10, since some folks care less about scores and more about daily life.
