What to Consider About Assisted Living in Atchison

The birthplace of Amelia Earhart, Atchison, Kansas, is a community deeply rooted in history and tradition. Located along the Missouri River, Atchison is home to more than 10,000 residents. Nearly 14% of this population is aged 65 and older, and some of those seniors may be considering moving to an adult care home (ACH) to accommodate their changing needs.

Assisted living facilities (ALFs) and residential health care facilities are both considered types of ACHs, and are licensed and governed by the Secretary of Aging and Disability Services. Three of these facilities are available in and around the Atchison area.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Atchison

  • Atchison has an array of community resources for seniors, including Project Concern, Inc., an organization that provides services to improve seniors' mobility, accessibility and stability. The services they offer include transportation, daily lunch, meal delivery and organized activities held at the senior center.
  • Seniors without their own personal vehicle may have difficulty getting around the city, as it has no fixed-route public transportation system. Project Concern does operate a public transportation service Monday through Friday, and many ACHs offer scheduled transportation for their residents.
  • With its low cost of living, Atchison is an affordable option for seniors on a budget. The city receives an index rating of 78, largely due to low housing and transportation costs. This number is much lower than the statewide average of 90 and U.S. average of 100.
  • One of the most historically-rich cities in Kansas, Atchison offers many points of interest, historic sites and cultural attractions for seniors to explore. Seniors can wander the halls of the Atchison County Historical Society Museum, take a trolley tour around the city or enjoy a live performance at the Theater Atchison.
  • The rate of violent crime in Atchison is rated 19.9, compared to the U.S. national average of 22.7. However, seniors may want to be aware of the high property crime rates in the city at 48.7, about 13 points higher than the national average of 35.4. Seniors may want to ensure prospective ACHs have state-of-the-art security systems in place.
  • The Atchison area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Atichson Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
