READ MOREThe monthly cost for assisted living is fairly consistent between many Kansas communities. The average rates are comparable in Topeka ($5,300) and Lawrence ($5,265), and they’re only about $200 less in Manhattan, where the price is $5,100. Wichita is the lone exception, with an average assisted living cost of just $4,728. In spite of being lower than these other cities, the rate in Wichita is still over $700 higher than the national average of $4,000 and almost $200 above the state median of $4,556.
Certain factors cause the price variances that exist between available senior care options in Wichita. Largely, they relate to the extent of care required and whether a senior lives at home or in a residential facility. Assisted living communities ($4,728) and nursing homes ($5,475) provide care in residential settings and include room and board. The 24-hour skilled nursing care offered in nursing homes results in a moderate $750 price increase compared to assisted living. Adult day health services ($1,934) and in-home care services ($4,195) are notably less expensive than assisted living, but neither include room and board. With these two care options, seniors live at home and have to pay their own household operating bills and buy groceries. These expenses aren’t included in the monthly rates paid, which only cover the service hours of care provided.
The Medicaid programs administered by state governments provide vital health care coverage to the most economically vulnerable residents who are often low-income families with young children, expectant mothers, the elderly and adults who are blind or disabled. These essential programs are made possible with joint funding and a regulatory framework provided by the federal government.
In Kansas, Medicaid is known as KanCare and ensures that more than 100,000 eligible blind, disabled and elderly residents receive adequate medical and long-term care. Covered services include:
Optional State Supplemental Payment
Seniors and disabled adults receiving SSI benefits who live in Medicaid-approved assisted living communities are eligible for an additional $62 monthly cash payment from the Kansas Optional State Supplemental program.
To qualify for these two benefits, Wichita residents must have:
Senior veterans can access comprehensive medical services at Wichita’s Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center, including primary, secondary and extended care services.
Staff at the Kansas Commission on Veterans Affairs’ local field office are available to help area veterans and their families file applications and appeals for state and VA benefits and pensions.
Veterans can find shared bonds at either of the city’s active VFW posts.
