Tallgrass Creek Senior Living Community sits at 13800 Metcalf Avenue in Overland Park, KS, and serves adults aged 62 and older who want active, safe, and comfortable retirement living, and the campus really gives you a bit of everything from independent living to assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and complete continuing care, so folks can move between care levels if needs change over time without leaving the community they know. Managed by Erickson Senior Living, the community has a strong, experienced team with roles such as Executive Director, Associate Executive Director, Sales and Marketing Director Blake Marshall, and a Continuing Care Administrator, plus reliable care and support staff folks describe as warm and helpful. For those who need extra help, you'll find specialized health care services like diabetes management, incontinence care, and support for people who are non-ambulatory or living with dementia and Alzheimer's-memory care has its own staff, activities, and personalized plans, and there's always 24-hour call and supervision for peace of mind.
You get a real choice of home styles here, too, with maintenance-free apartments done up in contemporary style, open layouts, and all the modern fixtures meant for easy living, so problems like repair jobs or unexpected costs don't get in the way, and there are moving and realty services to make transitions easier for newcomers. No matter which part of Tallgrass Creek you choose, the community's well-maintained, with professional landscapers taking good care of lush gardens, walking paths, and courtyards, so you see blooms and green all around, and there's a dog park for pet lovers. Residents also have access to a pool, fitness center, arts room, and a bunch of climate-controlled, glass walkways that connect different amenities, so bad weather won't slow anyone down.
You don't just have your apartment to spend time in, as Tallgrass Creek gives folks shared spaces and activities to enjoy together, like movie nights, resident-run gatherings, and events sponsored by the facility, plus spiritual support with St Michael The Arch Angel church close by, so those who want it can keep their faith active and feel a sense of community. For daily life, you can expect dining venues with varied menus, and practical needs are met with on-site pharmacy nearby, a Starbucks, and other shops close within two miles. There's also transportation and parking services, so getting around or having visitors isn't a hassle.
The campus is designed to help people stay independent as long as possible, with tailored help for daily activities or medical needs, while still offering rehabilitation and long-term nursing if and when that's required, so families can relax knowing it's all right there. Tallgrass Creek has its own medical center on campus too, staffed with full-time doctors to help manage ongoing health needs, and anyone looking for information about the organization can find Form 990s, peer facility information, funding details, and personnel listings, since Tallgrass Creek's its own nonprofit. There's also guidance and resources on planning, caregiver support, and even documentary materials for folks who want to learn more about senior living choices. Security's taken seriously, with a guard shack at the entrance, and the overall environment's described as safe, welcoming, and vibrant, where residents are known by name and staff work closely with each person.
Living at Tallgrass Creek means being part of a place organized for comfort, convenience, and connection, with resort-style touches and real flexibility for changing needs through the years.
