We are excited to welcome you to Wellsville Retirement Community’s website! Located in the rural community of Wellsville, 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 the Kansas City metro and Ottawa and the activities they offer.
We have nursing care available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and our rehab program offers physical, occupational, and speech therapies to help residents enhance or regain their independence. Additionally, we also provide short-stay rehab, long-term care, respite care and hospice services.
Wellsville Retirement Community has therapy services for all your needs. We have physical, occupational and speech services available to our community both inpatient and outpatient.
Our goal is to work with you and your family to create a care plan that honors your individual preferences and needs. We treat the whole person…mind, body and spirit…with compassion and attentive care.
Construction in 2013 has revealed a significant change to WRC as a new neighborhood has been added to skilled nursing along with an assisted living building! Our additions have made it look “home-like” and updates continue to happen.
WRC has multiple buses we use for resident outings along with 2 vans with wheelchair lifts that will be used for transporting residents to and from appointments.
Our monthly newsletter, named in an area-wide contest, called The Wellsville Welcomer, in which we talk about activities, show a potpourri of photos highlighting residents and staff members, and have Spotlight questions where we get to query our caregivers with thought-provoking questions, comes out at the beginning of each month. We also celebrate one resident and one staff member with a photo and narrative.
The staff members at WRC have made a commitment to take on resident-centered care which is also referred to as “culture change.” This is a nationwide movement that many nursing homes are engaging in that has to do with transforming the environment of a nursing home from that of an “institution” into that of a “home.”
Our nursing home also pushes the envelope with great benefits and extraordinary, out-of-the-box opportunities for staff and residents alike. It is our vision to make the spectacular, the sensational and the unconventional our regular standard of care.
Our staff and residents have opportunities to take trips such as to Disney World, Chicago, Las Vegas and cruises. We arranged for one residents, Helen, to travel to New York along with activities director, Jennifer Carpenter and long-time CNA to see the Jerry Springer Show – it was Helen’s longtime wish. Each year we have a staff party for all staff members, their spouses and children. Here, we have given away free hot air balloon rides, twin engine plane rides, massages, skydiving adventures, and day trips to Chicago with site seeing and subway rides.
We invite you to visit us in our quiet, rural setting to see for yourself how Wellsville Retirement Community can provide peace of mind to those seeking a quality place to call home. At WRC, 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 Wellsville Retirement Center.
