Brookdale Tallgrass - the perfect find.

With no family nearby and urgency to move from Independent Living, we were so fortunate to be able to move my sister into Brookdale Tallgrass. First, we learned of their exceptional reputation, and it quickly became apparent it was well earned. We, her scattered family, have been so grateful for how much better she's doing there, with the exceptionally attentive and caring staff.

A genuine community to call home

At Brookdale Tallgrass, I know my dad is not just a client, he’s family. The staff truly loves him. After the loss of his wife and coinciding health decline, my dad was nervous and apprehensive about his transition to assisted living. Now, over 2 years later, he speaks about his friends, the fun activities and his favorite staff with joy. Not a social guy, he has become quite social and the life of the party. I often hear from staff how much they love and enjoy my dad. He enjoys the parties, special events out and

Very caring facility

My mother has been a resident of Brookdale Tallgrass for close to 3 years now. She is very content there. She has a nice, comfortable home in her rooms. She enjoys the meals very much, they make an effort to make them tasty! The staff is caring and attentive.

Great place, great staff

I moved my husband to Brookdale TallGrass over 4 years ago when our lives were upset from the effects of Sundowner’s Disease due to dementia. The staff there understood the problems and were very helpful during this difficult process. Through the years his memory has continued to decline, but thanks to the great care and routines, he is able to function with minimum aid. The facility, though small in size, is great for getting to know other residents. Activities and outings are varied to appeal to different folks.

Brookdale is the place for Mom!

Mom has everything she needs. Her lunch lines has subsided. She’s made some friends. Staff treats her very well. The activities are great and she gets to go a few times paces each month outside of the facility to experience e things she has never done before. No place is perfect, but Brookdale checks all of the boxes. I looked at 23 facilities in Wichita and thanks to [name removed], I found the place for my Mom!

Brookdale Tallgrass Assisted Living

Brookdale Tallgrass Assisted Living provides a family like atmosphere with very good quality of life for the residents. They have many different activities available that keep my mom busy & she loves them. After having my parents at several other facilities over the years, I no longer have to worry about safety.
