Wakefield Care & Rehabilitation Center

Wakefield Care & Rehabilitation Center sits in Wakefield, Kansas, and has served the area since 2012 as part of Mission Health's family of care communities, and you'll find it offers a mix of services under one roof including independent living and assisted living, short-term rehab, long-term skilled nursing, and specialized recovery care, which means folks with different needs can get what they need without moving around too much. The place is known for skilled nursing care, help with daily things like bathing, dressing, and getting around, plus medication management, and it's staffed around the clock with RNs, LPNs, and CNAs ready to help. They take both Medicare and Medicaid, making it easier for many to get care here, and it's a for-profit center managed by a corporation, with a workforce that's not too big-somewhere between 11 and 50 employees.

There's a focus at Wakefield on both medical care and comfort, so along with clinical programs for things like stroke recovery, wound care, IV antibiotics, cardiac and pulmonary rehab, diabetes management, and nutritional counseling, the staff also makes room for activities like arts and crafts, movie nights, and garden walks, and there's a barber and beauty shop, so folks don't have to leave for those things. Rooms can be private or semi-private, and folks have access to a dining room with meals that suit various diets, including options for special needs like diabetes and allergies, and there's a laundry, dry cleaning, and housekeeping service. Wakefield offers other things too, such as outpatient treatment, respite care, adult day care, hospice, and a variety of therapies-occupational, physical, speech, and more-and it's fully wheelchair accessible with emergency alert systems and a 24-hour call system.

You'll find move-in help, social and therapeutic activities, transportation options, and community spaces to sit with others or get some fresh air on the patio, and it's amenity-filled, meaning there's WiFi, phone access in rooms, and a safe, furnished space. There aren't any resident or family councils, but the team works to coordinate care with outside health providers for folks who need complex care, such as trach care, PEG tubes, peritoneal dialysis, or sepsis care. Inspection ratings have been high, including an A+ with no severe deficiencies found on the last survey, and the place holds a steady overall rating of A-minus in recent years, so families looking for trustworthy care can know the state keeps a close watch. The community's inspired by CARES values-Character, Attitude, Respect, Excellence, Service-so the aim is both good care and a decent environment for folks' health and wellness.
