About Us
The goal of Brookside Health & Rehab is to provide not only a high quality of care for the residents and patrons that we serve, but also to provide a great quality of life, while allowing our residents to maintain their dignity. We have a full calendar of activities with something for everyone each month.
Brookside provides many different levels of care. Our Assisted Living community, located on the same campus, is comprised of studio apartments, studio deluxe apartments and one bedroom apartments with a small patio. Across the parking lot, our main space provides skilled nursing services for individuals needing more assistance or provides a perfect place for a rehabilitation stay. And to our east, across the side yard is our newest addition, our memory care unit, Ruble Ranch.
Brookside is fortunate to have our own in-house therapy team which can provide both in-patient and out-patient therapy services. Our services contract with many insurance companies. If you are in need of therapy services, please call to inquire about the services we have available. We can do short rehab stays to assist in getting a person safely back into their home. Please do not hesitate to call 785-665-7124 and inquire, we can do the same therapy as the ‘fancy rehab centers’ with a personal local touch.
"...the atmosphere is fantastic."
Our Neighborhoods
We have created two different neighborhoods: Evergreen Plaza and Lilac Lane. Each of these two neighborhoods have their own dining room and a state-of-the-art bath and spa.
Brookside staff are trained to give residents choices during their day. Residents can choose when to get up in the morning and when to go to bed at night. Our dietary staff offers a variety of options at each meal. There are different activities residents can choose from each day. Additionally, we have spa tubs, so residents have a say in how they bathe. We find giving residents choices is very empowering which gives them a sense of independence and autonomy.

Connecting Generations
In 2024, we opened a childcare facility, available to our employees. This multigenerational program brings together young and young at heart. And it's been wonderful! Some benefits we're seeing include:
-
Seniors experience increased joy and purpose through meaningful interactions with children, often leading to improved mood and cognitive engagement.
-
Children develop empathy, social skills, and understanding of aging while gaining 'bonus grandparents' who share wisdom and attention.
-
Natural, daily activities like reading stories, gardening, and crafts create opportunities for both generations to learn from each other.
-
Reduces isolation for seniors while giving children extra support and attention, creating a vibrant, family-like atmosphere.
-
Research shows these partnerships boost mental health and physical activity for seniors while helping children develop stronger communication skills and emotional intelligence.
