Via Christi Village

Via Christi Village, managed by Ascension Living and branded as Ascension Living Via Christi Village - Ridge, stands out as a continuing care retirement community offering a wide range of support for seniors, so folks can find help whether they're looking for independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or a short stay for rehabilitation, with places set up to make transitions between care levels smooth, and there are several floor plan options for housing, too, including private spaces, and some have kitchenettes. The place provides assistance with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and making sure residents take the right medicine, and you'll find amenities like arts and crafts rooms, a library, a movie theater, walking paths by a small lake, a game room, fitness and wellness programs, music activities, and gatherings that help people stay active, connected, and engaged, and there's fast Wi-Fi and parking for those who need it, and meals are made by chefs with meal planners focusing on nutrition. Residents can access 12-16 hour nursing care, a 24-hour call system for emergencies, and supervision for safety, and folks with memory issues receive support in a secure environment that tries to prevent wandering and confusion; there are specialized memory support services with programs centered on dignity and quality of life for people with dementia or Alzheimer's disease. The community is known for its caring staff, including nurses, aides, and adult day service workers, and has programs like PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly), hospice, at-home care options under At Home Choices, respite care, and adult day centers run by physicians, helping seniors and their families, even if they want to stay at home. The campus sits near St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church and other churches, beside doctors' offices, shopping, CVS Pharmacy, and eateries like Hurts Donut and Starbucks, with health services nearby such as Davita Kidney Care and Heartland Women's Group - West, which helps if someone has special medical needs, and the place is also linked to the Catholic Care Center, which provides extra assisted living and memory care nearby. They offer long-term skilled nursing, short-term rehab between hospital and home, and even intermediate care for very frail individuals, and the Resurrection Village Life Center brings together skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and memory support in one location, making it easier for families. Residents find a peaceful, friendly atmosphere here, where staff focus on each person's needs and take care of housekeeping, transportation, and social wellbeing, with support for adults who want help just with a few things, or who need more care because of health or memory issues. Meals, fitness programs, music, art, and social events let people make the most of every day, and the campus gives seniors a chance for a maintenance-free lifestyle, connecting with others while staying as independent as possible, and the staff, who many describe as kind, helpful, and compassionate, go out of their way to make sure all residents and families feel welcome and respected, aiming always to provide care with dignity for every person.
