Winter Meadow

Winter Meadow sits in Topeka, Kansas, and offers a small senior community with up to 6 residents, with license # B089070 from the Kansas Department of Social Services, which means there's a quiet, home-like atmosphere, and the staff provides both assisted living and memory care so you'll find help with bathing, dressing, walking, toileting, medication management, and personal hygiene; the staff covers 24 hours a day with extra training in dementia and Alzheimer's care, so if you need help with transferring, feeding, or incontinence, or if you need high acuity or non-ambulatory care, they can handle those things too. The place has secure memory care, and you'll see Alzheimer's special activities, memory therapy, and entertainment like music, live performances, movie nights, games, arts and crafts, animal visits, and even Wii bowling, plus there are happy hours, wine tastings, church services, Bible study, and community events planned by friendly staff who get to know every resident. You'll find single bedrooms, small studios, and shared apartments-some with kitchenettes or full kitchens-plus air-conditioning, cable TV, emergency response systems, and private Wi-Fi in rooms; some rooms face gardens or courtyards, or open to walking paths and outdoor spaces, and folks can visit the reading room, the game rooms, fitness center, hot tub, or steam room, with organized workout schedules for anyone who wants to keep active. The dining room serves three home-cooked meals daily using chef-created menus with options like vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free, or low-sodium, and anytime dining means meals show up when hunger does, not just at set hours, and staff help with feeding if needed. The staff helps with cleaning, laundry, hair styling using mobile stylists, and even helps arrange trips to the doctor, to church, or out shopping, and the community has regular transportation available, plus parking for family members that come by. Small pets are welcome, and with the emergency alert systems in each unit, and visiting healthcare or pharmacy services, most medical needs get covered-including diabetes management, catheter care, hospice, skilled nursing, and respite options if your family needs a break. You'll find community-supported activities, outings, music bands, dance shows, and day trips, plus spiritual care from chaplains or priests who come by. Smoking's allowed, and the staff supervises for health and safety around the clock, with care plans shaped to each resident's needs. The place also offers independent living for those wanting fewer worries, with regular help for routine things like preparing meals or cleaning. Winter Meadow tries to keep things comfortable and familiar, the staff's known as friendly and joyful, and you'll feel a warm welcome every time you walk in, which is something visitors tend to mention.
