Avita Senior Living At Rolling Hills sits in Wichita and offers assisted living and memory care with a calm, friendly environment. The facility has 68 assisted living beds and a team of highly trained staff who are present around the clock to help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, medication, and more, and you'll find they take the time to develop personalized care plans for each resident. Residents can live in spacious apartments with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, air conditioning, high-speed internet, and cable TV, and staff encourage folks to bring their own furniture, decorations, and belongings to help their rooms feel like home. The community supports easy visiting, so family and friends can stop by anytime with no set hours, and living here works month-to-month, with no big contract to sign, which adds peace of mind for many folks, especially since there's a transition plan to Medicaid (KanCare) after two years of private pay to help residents keep their home and care as needs change.
Those dealing with Alzheimer's or dementia can benefit from the Vitality Memory Center and the Marama Experience program, both focused on cognitive health, personal attention, and activities meant to improve function and keep everyone engaged. The memory care area is secure and structured to reduce confusion and prevent wandering, with therapy options on site-including physical, occupational, and speech therapy-so seniors can get care without leaving the community. Staff are specially trained in Alzheimer's and dementia care and use programs shown to help cognitive function in many cases, always adapting care to what each resident needs. Everyone living here gets access to indoor and outdoor areas, like a town square, walking paths, gardens, and common spaces for socializing, along with a wellness room, fitness center, spa, movie theater, game room, and arts room. Residents can do arts and crafts, music therapy, exercise programs, and take part in community-sponsored outings and devotional services. Pets are allowed, and the buildings are handicap accessible.
Dining happens at the Uptown Bistro, with restaurant-style meals prepared by a professional chef, with options for allergies and special diets, and you can always expect meals, housekeeping, laundry, transportation, wellness programs, activities, and care services to be included in a single monthly cost-no extra charges pop up if the care needs go up, which a lot of families appreciate. Parking is available, there are onsite laundry facilities, and each apartment has its own laundry setup, and high speed Wi-Fi keeps everyone connected. The staff here focus on dignity, comfort, and helping residents feel valued and supported, whether they're able to do most things on their own or need more advanced care as time goes on. The community has earned good marks for staff, cleanliness, attention to detail, and generally provides an honest selection of activities and support for older adults wanting a safe, comfortable place as they age. The Seniorly community score is 6.4. The facility opened in 2012 and has continued to add new features and programs since then.
