Pine Village

Pine Village sits out in the quiet countryside of Moundridge, Kansas, at 86 22nd Avenue, and it's the kind of place where you see big fields and calm skies, and the days pass slow, and while they call it a Christian-based, non-profit retirement community for folks 62 and older, there's more to it than just the basics, because you can choose from independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, adult day care, health care, memory care, home health, and hospice through the Schowalter Villa agency if you need different levels of care as you age, and the apartments, single homes, and duplexes have all been modernized with recent renovations and kept up by staff, and folks stay comfortable and safe with wheelchairs rolling easy down wide hallways, and there are always trained people working around the clock if help is needed. There's always something going on, whether it's game nights, happy hours, exercise classes, swimming in the wellness center pool, aerobics, strength training, or heading outside for outings, or even joining in on bigger events like the car show with its judged classes, or chipping in at the Benefit Day Bierock Dinner or taking part in a raffle that once offered an autographed Patrick Mahomes helmet, and residents can also pre-order bierocks if they want. You see folks relaxing in coffeehouses or meeting in tea rooms, or stopping by a cupcake bakery, bubble tea store, or ice cream shop, plus there are plenty of dining options so nobody eats the same meal twice unless they want to, since there're Asian, Vietnamese, Southern, Soul Food, Pizza and Western restaurants, along with buffets, chicken or burger places, and all kinds of cafes for quiet meals with friends and family. Pine Village is pet-friendly, with pet therapy programs, and allows animals in many of the living areas, which helps people stay happy, and there's a steady flow of activities for people who want to keep busy, with events, wellness programs, clubs, outings, and fitness classes, and whether someone needs a little help getting dressed or bathed, or requires speech or occupational therapy or memory care for dementia, or maybe just respite care for a short while, the experienced staff and management team handle things with a caring approach, making sure each person gets the right support. With a strong focus on compassion, hearing aid listening strategies, elder abuse awareness, and caregiver support, Pine Village isn't trying to impress anyone, but rather strives to do right by the residents, offering security, comfort, good food, and meaningful ways to stay involved in a serene place where people feel connected to each other and the land around them.
