Montgomery Place

Find Healing at Montgomery Place 

Montgomery Place offers skilled nursing, rehabilitation and hospice care in the southeastern Kansas town of Independence. Seniors spend their days learning new skills, meeting friends and rediscovering old passions. For instance, a typical day might go like this: sit down with friends for coffee and a made-to-order breakfast; head to tai chi class or walk around the grounds and get involved in the community’s intergenerational programming. Then, in the afternoon, grab a book from the library, take a tai chi class or play a game of dominoes with fellow residents — because of the person-centered approach here, seniors choose how they structure their free time. 

On top of the community events, Independence has plenty to see and do. Residents enjoy strolling the walking trails at Elk City State Park, exploring Kansas’ past at the Independence Historical Museum & Art Center and meeting the animals at Riverside Park and Ralph Mitchell Zoo. 

Montgomery Place: Stellar Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing Services

Because every senior is different, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to rehabilitation or skilled nursing at Montgomery Place. Instead, seniors work with highly trained professionals — including registered nurses and therapists — to create a care plan based on their goals and lifestyle preferences. That sense of freedom even extends to the dining program, where residents can choose from an “anytime menu” or order the specials for each meal. 

Montgomery Place employs speech, occupational and physical therapists to help seniors recover from hospitalization or regain their independence. Older adults might do balance exercises, speech therapy, strength training and dietary/nutrition counseling. Staff is here 24 hours a day to respond to emergencies and provide nursing care (there’s a 24-hour emergency call light system), but external healthcare options are also nearby. These include Coffeyville Regional Medical Center, Wilson Medical Center Neodesha and Fredonia Regional Hospital.
