Campaign-Newton, Kansas - Retirement Community - Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America

“We believe residents should be able to live as closely as possible to the way they did in their personal residences, with the care and necessary support required to accomplish this,” said Sullivan. “Presbyterian Manor staff have embraced the culture change movement in the last few years as we have adapted to transform from an institutional model to a resident-focused model. However, the institutional environment in which we work continually limits us. This renovation will allow us to not only have a home-like environment, but will allow us to take our resident-focused care and services to new heights.”

To this end, construction of the McFarland Health Center will create three distinct, 20-residential “households” — Claassen House, Utz House and Haury Place. Each household will have a private entrance and foyer, a living room and activity center, and a dining room with kitchen. Haury Place, the first memory support center in Kansas, has been serving as its own unit since 1986. It will be expanded and enhanced to include the amenities provided in Claassen and Utz Houses. Amenities in each household will include a remodeled and modernized bathing/spa room, a laundry room with washer and dryer for personal laundry, and a completely updated and modernized heating and air conditioning system that will provide for individual temperature control in each room. The project will also include the reconfiguring of semi-private rooms to “privacy-enhanced” rooms, allowing for greater space distinction.

“Shortly after moving to Newton, I became acquainted with Presbyterian Manor, as many of my clients were residents and I was able to witness all levels of care at the Manor,” said Campaign General Chair Frazier, an investment representative with Edward Jones “What struck me then, and still does today, was the fact that my clients felt at home there. They cared about their neighbors, and they cared about the community of Presbyterian Manor. Our Shaping Tomorrow campaign isn’t so much about doing something new as it is about continuing a historical commitment. The Manor has been — and should be — home to our residents.”
