Brookside Retirement Community

Overbrook, KS - Assisted Living

Community size: Medium (11-25)

With six local investors and the other half of the investors from Topeka, Brookside Manor was built in 1965. After the second year, Max Friesen and Dr. Ruble and the other local investors bought out the Topeka ownership and kept it under local ownership. Max and Dr. Ruble then bought out the shares of the other local investors through the years as they retired. They owned it, with Cliff Fisher as administrator, and Brookside enjoyed high operating status, being recommended from as far as California as the best nursing home in the state of Kansas. We, at Brookside today, deeply appreciate Dr. Ruble’s vision and great commitment to elders which made Brookside’s care possible for hundreds of residents since 1965.

Located in the rural community of Overbrook, Kansas, the values and stability of a small town help to make our retirement community special.  Our location is quiet and peaceful, yet we are still within minutes of Topeka and Lawrence and the activities they offer.

We invite you to visit us in our quiet, rural setting to see for yourself how Brookside Retirement Community can provide peace of mind to those seeking a quality place to call home.  At BRC, we are absolutely committed to extraordinary service. We always welcome feedback as we continually strive to improve the quality of life we provide the residents of Brookside Retirement Center.

The goal of Brookside Retirement Community is to provide not only a high quality of care for the residents and patrons that we serve, but also to provide a great quality of life, while allowing our residents to maintain their dignity.  We have a full calendar of activities with something for everyone each month.

Brookside Retirement Community provides many different levels of care.  Our assisted living community, located on the same campus, is comprised of studio apartments, studio deluxe apartments and one bedroom apartments with a small patio.  Also located in the assisted living building are independent living studio apartments.  Across the parking lot, our main campus also provides skilled nursing services for individuals needing more assistance or provides a perfect place for a rehabilitation stay.

Brookside Retirement Community is fortunate to have our own in-house therapy team which can provide both in-patient and out-patient therapy services.  Our services contract with many insurance companies.  If you are in need of therapy services, please call to inquire about the services we have available.  We can do short rehab stays to assist in getting a person safely back into their home. 

This beautiful home offers an intimate and safe environment for six residents that are living with dementia.

To move someplace new, when you know every “nook and cranny” of your home, is a hard decision to make. We understand your need for independence, and that you want to live somewhere that seems like home … only a little easier. We work hard to make our facilities feel like home, through the services and activities we offer.
