ComfortCare Homes Inc. provides care to seniors in a home-like setting, with a history of dementia care in Kansas going back to 1993, and they've picked up a lot of experience working with people who have Alzheimer's, Parkinson's-related dementia, Lewy Body Dementia, and memory loss from strokes, so they know what they're doing and you can see it in their daily routines and the way the homes look and feel, because these aren't big facilities but regular houses in residential neighborhoods in Wichita and Newton, Kansas, set up to feel safe and familiar. They operate with a model where residents get 24-hour support from highly trained caregivers, and each person receives care based on their needs, which includes help with bathing, dressing, medication management, meals, and personal care, and you'll see that each resident has a private bedroom, often with a private bathroom, air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and a kitchenette for snacks or drinks if someone wants to make something for themselves between the main meals that staff prepare with special diets in mind, like low sugar for diabetes or attention to allergies.
The houses offer common spaces like shared living and dining rooms, a small library, a beauty salon, and community areas for movies, games, fitness, and even a garden so people can spend time outside when the weather's nice, and pets are allowed because ComfortCare knows animals can help people feel better. Residents can take part in community-organized activities, both daily and special events, or join in with resident-run programs if they want to be more independent, and the homes try hard to make sure there are things to do that match everyone's abilities and life history, which is important for memory care. There's also a 24-hour call system and supervised environment for safety, and transportation is provided for appointments, outings, or family visits. Nursing care and home healthcare blend in with the assisted living services, so people who need skilled care get it right at home, and ComfortCare has a doctor, x-ray company, and medical lab who come to the houses to help when needed.
People who stay for a short time, for respite when a family caregiver needs a break, get the same support as long-term residents, and new residents get help moving in so the transition isn't so hard. ComfortCare Homes has been known for offering care that's both respectful and personal, focusing on the dignity of each person, and using programs proven to help people with dementia and Alzheimer's engage as much as possible, which is what sets them apart since they were one of the first to move this kind of care out of institutions into regular homes. The community accepts residents with or without a formal diagnosis of dementia, and provides tailored support for non-ambulatory people or those who've got more confusion. With about 100 residents at a time, ComfortCare Homes combines a small-home feeling with the resources and medical oversight of an experienced team, and holds a HomePlus designation for their resident-focused approach; they've maintained an average rating of 8.4 out of 10 with positive reviews mentioning high-quality service and compassionate care. The location on East Kellogg in Wichita is roughly five miles outside the city center, and with amenities like furnished rooms, walk paths, music and movie programs, and plenty of common space, ComfortCare Homes aims to make life safer, easier, and more familiar for residents and their families.
