Alongside nearly Limitless opportunities for fun and entertainment, Wichita is home to a wide variety of senior communities, including assisted living residences. This guy will discuss the state's regulations which govern licensing for assisted living communities in Wichita, so families can know what to expect before they apply to a residence and move in.

Wichita Assisted Living

Before residents may provide housing or services to residents and call themselves an assisted living community, they must meet the state's regulations regarding residential healthcare. In Kansas, the Secretary of Aging and Disability Services licenses all residential communities, defining them as adult care homes. The term adult care homes include assisted living facilities and residential healthcare facilities, although the regulations may differ among the many types of adult care homes in Kansas.

In Kansas, small private residences that serve up to ten or twelve residents may be licensed by the Secretary of Aging and Disability Services to provide long-term care. These residences, which may be called Boarding Care Homes and Home Plus, may not provide the level of care available at assisted living communities but must oblige with the state’s applicable regulations to maintain their license.

Senior living communities in Kansas may be defined as one of two types of adult care home:

  • To be defined as an assisted living facility, a community must care for at least six individuals who are not related to the residences administrator, operator, or owner. Their residents may need personal or supervised nursing care, and these types of communities must provide apartments with kitchens and must coordinate services that are available 24 hours a day.

  • Communities that are defined as residential Healthcare facilities must care for at least six individuals and must provide the same services that are available at an assisted living facility. However, residential Healthcare facilities are not required to provide kitchens in their living units.

Additionally, assisted living communities in Wichita required to provide service planning and general personal care according to the state's regulations. In Kansas, a community must provide healthcare services for each resident based on prior assessments by a licensed nurse, along with services like:

  • Housekeeping

  • Transportation to personal occasions, medical appointments, and dental appointment social events and planned activities

  • Medication administration, when a resident is unable to self administer their own prescriptions.

Personal care services typically include assistance with each resident activities of daily living, which may include help with bathing, dressing, eating, or maintaining personal hygiene. The level of care a person receives when they move into an assisted living community depends on their pre-admission assessment, which outlines their individual health care needs and their personal preferences.

If an assisted living resident requires healthcare services, a licensed nurse must assist them with a health care service plan. In Kansas, health care services are defined as typical personal care, in addition to nursing care tasks.

Assisted Living vs. Other Types of Long-Term Care in Wichita, Kansas

Assisted living is popular, but it isn't the only type of long-term care available for those who need it. In Wichita, Kansas, families can find a variety of senior living communities that provide varying levels of care, tailored to their residents' needs.

If a person needs ongoing help with their activities of daily living, an assisted living community may be the right choice for long-term care. However, some individuals want the benefits of community-based living but do not require daily assistance with eating, dressing, bathing, or other activities. In these cases, independent living may be a more appropriate choice for retirement.

However, independent living communities do not provide the same daily level of care is assisted living, making them a suitable choice for those who are largely self-sufficient. By moving into an independent living community, a person or family can enjoy the benefits of community-based living, even if they do not require the assistance of another person to complete basic tasks.

Unlike assisted living or Independent Living, nursing homes provide skilled nursing care that is ideal for those with chronic health conditions. If a person needs ongoing, regular medical assistance to manage their health, a nursing home may be a more appropriate alternative to Residential Care communities. 

Nursing homes are subject to unique staffing requirements that make them more readily equipped to assist those with chronic illnesses or injury.

Funding Assisted Living in Wichita Kansas

Paying for long-term care can seem challenging what families approach retirement, but it doesn't have to be. Fortunately, there are a variety of programs available to help those who are moving into long-term care communities, making any more financially viable option or retirement living.

Long-term care insurance is an increasingly popular way to pay for assisted living, thanks for its ease of use and its potential savings. Many assisted living communities in Wichita accept long-term care insurance to pay for services, room, and board, making it one of the most effective ways to plan for the future.

However, a family should be aware that the cost of long-term care insurance policies go up the closer they are to retirement age. The younger a person is when they purchase their long-term care insurance policy, the more they will save each monthly premiums. As a person approaches retirement age, long-term care insurance may not offer the same savings as if they had purchased it many years in advance.

Additionally, there are a handful of government-subsidized assistance programs are available to help families pay for long-term care when they can't pay out of pocket. For example, Medicaid offers a Home and Community-based Services Program designed for financially eligible families who are approaching retirement.

The program is reserved for adults who require the assistance of another person to complete their activities of daily living, and who meet Medicaid’s financial eligibility requirements. If a person does not financially qualify for Medicaid, they may not receive the Home and Community-based Services waiver to pay for long-term care.

Additionally, the Department of Veterans Affairs offers a unique program exclusive to Veterans who served in the United States armed forces and who were not dishonorably discharged. The program, widely known as Aid & Attendance designed for veterans who need ongoing assistance with their activities of daily living.

To receive the benefit, a person must be financially eligible for the standard monthly pension awarded by the Department of Veterans Affairs. For more information, a family should speak with their VA caseworker to discuss their personal eligibility for the aid and attendance program.
