Sterling Village

Sterling Village, managed by GraceTeam, gives older adults many care options and ways to live, so someone can find what suits them best, whether that's independent living with no yard work or meals to skilled nursing care with nurses around all day and night, and they've made a point to move away from the old model of nursing homes, choosing instead to focus on each person's dignity and choices while aiming to create a home where staff know residents well and treat everyone like family, which matters to folks wanting a bit more care or those just wanting friendship and company. They've named their different programs and spaces to fit the place, and you'll see things like memory care, assisted living, adult day services, hospice, and both Medicare-certified home health care and non-medical home care, so someone can get support even at home. Residents can get short-term rehabilitation if they need to recover from injury, surgery, or illness, and Sterling Village helps bridge the gap between hospital and home if needed. Folks living there have access to daily exercise classes, wellness programs, social events, worship services, and activities for personal growth, plus regular programs and events keep things lively and make friendships easy to grow. Safety's part of the setup too, since there are security systems, and all utilities like cable TV are included, so nobody has to worry about the bills. Meals are served in a shared dining room, with three nutritious choices and snacks every day, and rooms get daily housekeeping and laundry, so it's easier to enjoy time with others or just rest. There's an adult day services program too, so people can join in activities or get care during the day even if they live elsewhere, and those with memory loss can get extra help through the memory care area. Residents get opportunities to join the on-site senior center, join in worship, or join social programs-so there's something for everyone, whether someone likes to stay busy or prefers quiet time. The staff, including RNs, LPNs, and CNAs, meet Kansas's standards for hands-on care, spending almost four hours with each resident daily, reflecting a promise to keep quality up. The place has earned its spot as a Top 10 Provider for person-centered care in Kansas, and that comes from the belief that older age, called the "third age of life," should be about joy and meaningful living, not just waiting out time, with a focus on supportive relationships and little touches that bring comfort. Sterling Village works to enrich life with a warm, personal approach, choosing services that cover most every need, but always circling back to the idea of giving all residents purpose and fulfillment each day.
