Peace of Mind - Wichita sits about five miles outside Wichita, Kansas, and offers care for seniors across different needs, including independent living, assisted living, and memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia. The community provides both private and shared rooms, with layouts that include one-bedroom, studios, and semi-private arrangements, and there are only 8 assisted living units, which means staff can pay close attention to each person. Rooms have simple and useful designs, and the building includes areas like a bistro, community kitchen, fitness section, and both indoor and outdoor common spaces with landscaped gardens and walking paths, all helping residents feel comfortable and at home.
For memory care, residents get support from trained staff who know how to handle memory loss, confusion, and behaviors like wandering. The premises are locked and monitored 24 hours, and the building uses security technology and alarms to help keep residents safe, especially those who might try to leave or get lost. Staff includes certified nursing assistants, a full-time nurse, and a registered nurse on call at all hours, so health needs like medication, diabetic care, and high-acuity concerns can be handled at any time, and they help with bathing, dressing, incontinence, and transfers, even for those who need two-person or mechanical lift assistance.
Meals are made on site by culinary chefs with help from meal planners, and the kitchen delivers three fresh meals a day plus snacks, including nutritious options with vegetarian, kosher, and special diets available. Residents can get help eating if needed, and menus are set up to be easy to read. Laundry, housekeeping, and pharmacy services are handled by staff, while transportation is available, including a wheelchair bus for getting to appointments and activities, and parking is provided for residents.

There's a beautician on site for grooming, with spa services like manicures and hair styling, and relaxing baths are available, including bathtubs for those who like a soak. The environment tries to be both cozy and functional, keeping things clean, odor-free, and safe, and the staff is often praised for being friendly, kind, and helpful, going so far as to check up on residents without always needing visitors present. Wi-Fi is available so residents can stay connected, and technology is used to alert staff if someone is at risk for falls or wandering.
