Shawnee Gardens Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center sits at 6416 Long Avenue in Shawnee, KS, and holds up to 130 residents in a mix of private and semi-private rooms, and you'll notice right away it's a nursing facility that covers both short-term and long-term care for people who need recovery, medical help, or everyday living support, and it does this by having CNAs and care aides who pay close attention to what each person needs, plus registered nurses and attending physicians make sure each resident has a treatment plan that's just for them, so no one feels lost in the shuffle, and you'll see residents get top-quality medical care, regular meetings to talk about progress, and plenty of help to regain strength, mobility, and some independence if that's possible. Visitors and residents find the building newly renovated and up-to-date, with wide halls, bright lighting, a clean dining room, and a lot of thoughtful little touches-like lounges, common areas, and activity spaces so people can visit with family, spend time with friends, or just read the paper quietly in a corner, and they let residents access computers with internet, get their mail and newspapers, and enjoy meals planned by dietitians and nutritionists who pay attention to special needs, so you won't see anyone left out if they can only eat certain things. The laundry and housekeeping run in-house, and the place always looks cared for. There are transportation options for outings, and residents get the chance to enjoy a bit of community outside or go to appointments when needed.
Shawnee Gardens Healthcare & Rehab Center has a good range of medical services offered, like wound care, colostomy care, tracheostomy care, management for complex cases, pain management, X-rays, IV therapy, Life Vest, Lymphedema care, and even help for people living with Alzheimer's or memory issues thanks to a secure memory care unit with life enrichment programs, and they also handle Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) for people who have feeding limits. Their therapy gym is state-of-the-art, and it's filled with high-tech equipment that physical, occupational, and speech therapists use, so people recovering from surgeries and injuries can work toward a safe, steady recovery.
Personal care's more than medicine here-there's dental, vision, podiatry, as well as spiritual, emotional, and mental counseling for those who need it, and families can visit knowing their loved ones have their needs met by a warm staff with experience, some of whom have been there a long time. For people facing a tough final illness, there's palliative and hospice care to help them keep comfortable and pain-free, plus families can step away when needed thanks to respite care, and when recovery's on the table, the team has a process in place to work on discharge planning, giving residents a safe path to transition back home.
Shawnee Gardens delivers more than basic rehab or nursing services by offering help for substance use, having evidence-based therapies for opioid and alcohol recovery, and offering detox, inpatient, outpatient, and medication-assisted treatment, with programs set up for adults, women, men, and even teens and adolescents, depending on who needs care. You'll find that staff work to give residents the sense they're treated like family, and that's something that can make a big difference when comfort and well-being matter most, and with things like meal choices, mail service, outings, a home-like environment, and a low-key, friendly approach, Shawnee Gardens keeps life as normal as possible during a tough time. Privacy practices stay up to date, and their website is managed by BrandRight Marketing Group.
