Homestead Health Center

Homestead Health Center specializes in skilled nursing care, which includes 24-hour licensed nursing supervision, post-acute rehabilitation services, long-term care for medically complex residents, and coordinated clinical programming. This level of care is appropriate for individuals recovering from surgery, stroke, or illness, as well as those who require ongoing nursing support due to chronic health conditions.

Homestead Health Center is well-positioned relative to Wichita's major medical centers. Wesley Medical Center, a Level I Trauma Center located northeast of the facility, is one of the region's leading acute care hospitals. Via Christi St. Francis and Via Christi St. Joseph are also within the Wichita metro, providing families confidence that emergency and specialty care is close by if a resident requires hospitalization.

Homestead Health Center is operated as a nonprofit corporation. This means the organization is not driven by shareholder profit. Instead, surplus revenue is directed back into the facility — supporting staffing levels, resident programs, and quality improvements. Many families consider nonprofit status an important factor when evaluating the values and priorities of a skilled nursing provider.

Wichita is Kansas's largest city and offers a comfortable, affordable environment for seniors and their families. The city features walkable neighborhoods like the historic Delano District with dining and shops, scenic green spaces along the Arkansas River including Riverside and Sim Parks, and a robust healthcare infrastructure. Wichita's cost of living is significantly below national averages, which can ease the financial burden families face when managing skilled nursing expenses.

You can reach Homestead Health Center's admissions team directly by calling (316) 262-4473. The team can walk you through current availability, the admissions process, insurance and Medicare/Medicaid acceptance, and schedule an in-person or virtual tour of the facility. It's recommended to prepare a summary of your loved one's current medical needs and care history before your consultation to help the team assess the right level of placement.
