Admissions

Who we serve

Adults who need daily support in a home setting

We welcome adults who need assistance with daily living activities in a supportive, home-like environment. Our home is especially well suited for those who would thrive with consistent caregivers, a familiar routine, and a calm setting. We offer both long-term adult care home placement and short-term respite stays for families who need temporary relief.

  • Seniors who need help with personal care (bathing, dressing, grooming)
  • Adults with early-to-moderate dementia or Alzheimer's
  • Individuals requiring medication management and health monitoring
  • Those transitioning from the hospital who need ongoing supervised support
  • Adults with physical limitations who can no longer safely live alone
  • Secure memory care for advanced dementia with wandering behaviors

How it works

Our admissions process

We've kept this simple on purpose. Moving a loved one is already a big decision — our process is designed to give you the information you need at each step, without pressure.

01

Initial conversation

Call us at (316) 469-6590 or fill out our contact form. We'll talk through your situation, the level of care needed, and whether our home may be a good fit — honestly, with no obligation.

02

Tour our home

We invite you and your family to visit, meet the staff, and experience the environment firsthand. Tours are available daily, 9 am–5 pm, by appointment. Seeing the home in person answers questions that no website can.

03

Care needs review

Our registered nurse conducts a thorough assessment of your loved one's needs, health history, and preferences. This shapes their individual care plan and confirms our ability to provide appropriate, safe support.

04

Move-in planning

We coordinate a smooth, unhurried transition at a pace that works for your family. Our staff guide your loved one through every step — making the first days welcoming, comfortable, and familiar.

Short-term stays

Respite care admissions

If you're looking for a temporary stay — for caregiver relief, post-hospital recovery, or just to try the environment before committing — our admissions process works the same way. We follow the same steps, and short-stay guests receive the exact same quality of care.

Availability for respite stays is limited, so we encourage families to reach out early. Learn more about respite care in Wichita, KS →
