Mccrite Retirement Assisted Living Description
Established in 1975, McCrite Plaza Topeka was created to provide luxurious senior living to retirees in northeast Kansas.
Since that time, our family-owned and operated senior living community has done just that. We give residents and their families peace of mind through excellent supportive care with a wide variety of services and amenities, all within a beautiful and welcoming community.
If you are considering a move to a senior living community, the best way to see if it’s the right fit for you is by scheduling an in-person tour. This gives you a chance to see the sights, meet the people, and step inside the apartments and community rooms before making an official decision. It also gives you a chance to inquire about the services and amenities offered.
We encourage you to take a guided tour with us over lunch at McCrite Plaza Topeka so that you can see first-hand the uplifting and supportive environment we’ve built.
