Arbor House

Arbor House sits in Wichita, Kansas, and offers a variety of elder care options in both assisted living and memory care, which means seniors needing help with bathing, dressing, or taking their medicine can get support, and those with Alzheimer's or dementia can have specialized programs and activities in a safe place where staff work to prevent wandering and confusion, and the facility also provides independent living for people who want a maintenance-free life with social activities and resort-style amenities, so folks who live there don't have to worry about things like yard work or repairs. The place has remodeled homes, some first built in 1964 and updated in 2011, with residential care homes that usually hold only a few residents, making it easier for staff to know everyone's needs and let seniors feel comfortable with caregivers they see every day, and Stratford Home is one example of a home plus facility designed to create a cozy, home-like feeling for elderly persons who need more constant support. Arbor House is also connected to Larksfield Place - The Health Care Center, which means there's a spot for skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and wound care when people need round-the-clock medical attention or help managing diabetes and incontinence or using a catheter. The community allows smoking, and there's transportation and parking for residents who want to get around town, and meals are often mentioned for being well-prepared and nutritious, which matters to folks wanting regular, healthy food. Staff give help with medication reminders, incontinence care, and hospice services for people nearing the end of life, plus there's respite care if a primary caregiver needs a break. Home care is also available, where trained aides come by to help with small tasks and provide company, and memory care sections come with secure areas and memory-enhancing activities. Arbor House offers everyday comfort, urban and natural touches, and a variety of care levels, all in plain English so residents and families know exactly what to expect.
