The Great Bend Chamber of Commerce staff and Ambassador’s Club hosted a Chamber Coffee and Ribbon Cutting at Aster Estates, a new Home Plus facility that opened this spring. With three employees and a growing list of residents, the senior living facility can accommodate up to seven residents at a time.

“Home plus is a senior living option that many people are not familiar with,” says Pam Lewis, Director. “But it’s a quickly growing industry for many reasons. We are proud to bring this new option to the Great Bend area.”

Some of the most popular reasons people are switching to Home Plus instead of traditional nursing home options include:

· Home Plus facilities are quite literally a home with private living quarters for each resident that are finished in the same quality you'd want in your own home.

· Each suite is much larger than most nursing home rooms, and offer more privacy. And at Aster Estates, the suites have outdoor views in a country setting with lots of natural light coming in each suite.

· Home Plus facilities provide the sense of security and stability that seniors need, knowing someone is always close by to help, and that household chores, shopping, cooking, etc. are all taken care of. Residents can enjoy knowing they are checked on multiple times each night, but without being woken up or overhearing medical beeping or monitoring machines in a clinical environment. Plus, every resident has a call button to reach staff if they need additional help between bed checks.

· Aster Estates has a beautiful lawn with privacy fence, sunset views off the beautiful back patio, an in-ground pool, outdoor patio area for social gatherings, and lots of space to entertain family and guests.

· Home Plus residents enjoy home cooked meals and snacks, with balanced nutrition and fresh ingredients. Nothing is served cafeteria style there!

“Nutrition is such an important part of senior wellness, and we pay special attention to meal planning, medication management, and mental health,” Lewis says.

For anyone with a loved one needing a better quality of life for the same price as a nursing home, the friendly staff at Aster Estates can schedule a private tour or visit by phone to determine if Home Plus is the right fit. Visit www.asterestates.com, or call 620-617-4281 for more information.
