DOING DEMENTIA DIFFERENTLY
Better Memory Care
Better Memory Care is Our Promise
ComfortCare Homes' legacy comes from family caregivers who sought a better model of care. Through the experiences of caring for their grandparents, the Stark family developed one of the first residential dementia care programs in the country.
This innovative model of care inspired the creation of the HomePlus state accreditation and, in the process, changed the landscape of professional Alzheimer’s and dementia care in Kansas.
Alzheimer’s disease affects nearly six million Americans, a population expected to nearly double by 2060. Initially manifesting as a memory disorder, Alzheimer’s is a degenerative form of dementia that can impair cognition as well as physical functioning.
The amount and quality of care required by people living with this terrible disease can be considerable and strain even the most dedicated family caregivers.
Over the more than 30 years that ComfortCare Homes has been serving our community, we’ve consistently strived to go beyond the basics and provide innovative dementia care for our residents and their families.
Throughout our tenure as the region’s premier dementia care provider, our work has been recognized by the Alzheimer’s Association, the State of Kansas and the Wichita Chamber of Commerce, among others.
“After mom had been in two assisted living & memory care facilities, it is a gift that she has been placed in ComfortCare Homes. From first meeting to move in the care and love expressed to her has been great.”

Compassionate, Quality Nursing Care
ComfortCare Homes centers our philosophy of care on the specific needs of people with a dementia diagnosis, built on the belief that people don't stop being who they are.
Our nursing and caregiving team members are trained specifically to care for this unique population. Our training includes a rigorous onboarding process and ongoing education in best practices for dementia care.
Caregivers develop an understanding of the varieties of dementias, proper de-escalation and redirection techniques, and how to engage residents with activities that build confidence and support social interaction.
Alongside ComfortCare Homes' innovative psycho-social focus, we ensure the best healthcare for our residents with 24-hour care and a high caregiver-to-resident ratio (on average 1:6), making sure every resident receives the right amount of attention regardless of time of day.
