    Overview of Tallgrass Creek

    Tallgrass Creek is a continuing care retirement community located in Overland Park, Kansas. It offers a comprehensive range of living options including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing to accommodate the varying needs of its residents.

    Levels of Care

    • Independent Living
    • Assisted Living
    • Memory Care
    • Skilled Nursing

    Short-Term Stays

    The community provides short-term rehab services, although it is noted that the skilled nursing neighborhood is often full, primarily serving residents from the independent living side of the campus.

    Pet Policy

    Pets are allowed on a case-by-case basis, with the requirement that the resident must be able to manage the pet independently.

    Transportation Services

    Tallgrass Creek offers its own transportation services for residents, which can be used for doctor's appointments as well as other community outings. This service includes a flat-based fee and a per-mile charge.

    Moving Assistance

    While the community does not have staff movers, they partner with agencies and have a preferred list of recommended movers who are familiar with the campus to assist residents in moving into the community.

    Dining Services

    Residents in independent living have access to two formal dining venues, two fast-casual dining venues, and a market area. Dining is restaurant-style, and residents have the option to eat in their rooms or in the dining room. Meal delivery is available from one dining venue. Specific dining times are set, but options are available outside of those windows, and some venues are open throughout the day.

    Staff and Medical Care

    The community employs a large staff to cater to over 1,000 residents, with a significant number of employees in dining and nursing services. On-site medical care includes two doctors and one nurse practitioner, as well as a licensed social worker. The staff includes RNs, LPNs, and CNAs. Staff members are required to complete annual training and periodic training throughout the year.

    Accessibility, Safety, and Security

    Tallgrass Creek is a gated community with a security team. Residents have access to pull cords in all apartments, and in assisted living, wearable pendants are also provided. Individualized care plans dictate the frequency of nurse check-ins.

    Communication with Families

    The facility maintains frequent communication with residents' families, especially in the skilled nursing neighborhood. Scheduled care plan meetings are held, and a social services employee acts as a point of contact.

    Resident Feedback and Complaints

    Residents can voice concerns during resident council meetings or directly to the leadership team through an open-door policy. Major complaints are directed towards the Kansas Ombudsman.

    Waitlist Information

    There is availability in independent living, but waitlists are in place for assisted living and memory care. The community tends to remain full with its own residents from within Tallgrass Creek.
