Not to be confused with its larger, older, and more expensive twin city directly to the east — or with the upscale suburbs throughout Johnson County to the south — Kansas City, Kansas stretches from the Missouri state line all the way out to the Kansas Speedway, about 20 miles westward. This expansive size gives KCK a wide variety of living options. Residents of historic neighborhoods like Strawberry Hill and Rosedale have easy access to all the urban attractions of KCMO, but just a few miles to the west, planned communities and rural life await.

In Kansas City, residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.

Cost of Care Homes in Kansas City, KS

The median monthly cost of a room in a care home is about $5,500 in the state of Kansas. However, the cost of living in a care home depends largely on location. Since the homes are private residences, costs are tied to real estate value and therefore may vary greatly.
