Newton Presbyterian Manor sits as a faith-based, not-for-profit senior living community closely tied to Presbyterian associations, and draws on Christian values and community partnerships, which you'll see in how it brings people together for different conferences like the Ecumenical Conference and Fundraiser's Forum, and holds programs, services, resources, and educational sessions for seniors, along with an emphasis on affordable housing, disaster recovery, member benefits, and regular group purchasing to help keep things manageable. The community is made up of several different buildings and living options including independent living for active seniors at The Broadway Apartments, The Jasmine Cottages, The Garden Apartments, and duplexes, with choices from one-or two-bedroom setups, sometimes with balconies, carports available for a small monthly fee, and apartments can come with or without washers and dryers, while there's a launderette in some areas and laundry services if needed, and maintenance along with groundskeeping are covered so you don't have to worry about upkeep.
They make a big effort for everyone to feel settled through a full range of care levels, starting with independent living, assisted living units like Kalb Villa's The Rose or The Lily Suite, memory care like Anderson Place's The Orchid and Haury Place, and moving up to skilled nursing for those who need higher levels of support, plus home care, hospice, and short-term rehabilitation for folks who need to recover after an illness or a hospital visit, with post-acute to home support that helps get you back on your feet. The staff are known to be kind and helpful, and they provide hands-on care with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, medication management, diabetic and incontinence care, and there's 24/7 supervision in secured memory care areas where residents with Alzheimer's or dementia are cared for with specialized support to reduce confusion and wandering.
At Newton Presbyterian Manor, people can be part of a lively circle of activities, with social events happening pretty often, from live performances and birthday or holiday parties to grocery shopping trips and day outings, plus a Gardening Club, arts and crafts, religious services, games, movie showings in the theater room, and plenty of spaces both indoors and outdoors for people to gather in, including a chapel for devotional activities, library for reading or using the computers, fitness center for wellness, hair salon, community dining rooms where professional chefs prepare daily meals with dietary accommodations, and there's the option for meal guests or even room service.
Residents are able to live with their pets-cats, small dogs, birds, fish-if the staff approves, which a lot of folks seem to like, and the area is set up with walking paths, an outdoor patio to enjoy the fresh air, and safety features with 24-hour staff presence and security systems to help everyone feel comfortable. Utilities are mostly included in the rent except for telephone and internet; people can choose the cable or satellite TV option and get Wi-Fi or high-speed internet in their rooms, and there's a mix of private and semi-private health care residences, with floor plans ranging from studios to two-bedroom apartments with garages in some of the newer spaces.
Residents can get involved in intergenerational activities with the onsite preschool, join volunteer projects or cultural events, and tap into a lot of resources about health, aging, dementia, and senior living costs. Newton Presbyterian Manor keeps the focus on care as needs change with time, providing a single campus where you can move from independent to assisted or memory care without having to leave the familiar surroundings, and you can see the commitment to both faith and practical help in things like the Art is Ageless program for older artists, wellness and fitness support, support groups, member directories, and guides for transit in Kansas. The facility also opens up for conferences and research needs days, has a resident library, media centers, and regular communication with things like newsletters, handbooks, and educational materials to help residents and families navigate senior living.
