When it comes to planning for senior care, few questions are more important, or more emotionally complex, than cost. Families want the very best for their aging loved ones, but they also need to understand what assisted living in Wichita truly costs and what that price includes.
At Keepsake Kottage, we believe in transparency, trust, and empowerment. This guide breaks down everything you need to know about the cost of assisted living in Wichita, Ks, so you can make informed decisions for your family.
As of 2025, the average monthly cost of assisted living in Wichita is approximately $4,800–$5,500 per month. This cost can vary widely depending on several factors:
Location within Wichita
Level of care required
Type of living environment (home-like vs. institutional)
Amenities and services offered
At Keepsake Kottage, our rates are competitive and reflect personalized care in real residential homes, not corporate facilities.
While pricing can vary, most assisted living communities in Wichita offer a bundle of core services, including:
Private or semi-private room
Assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs): bathing, dressing, grooming, etc.
Medication management
24/7 caregiver availability
Three meals per day and snacks
Housekeeping and laundry
Social and recreational activities
Utilities and maintenance
At Keepsake Kottage, we also include daily companionship, family-style meals, and dementia care expertise at no extra charge for qualifying residents.
For families seeking specialized dementia care in Wichita, pricing may be slightly higher due to:
Specialized training for caregivers
Higher staffing ratios
Enhanced safety features
Structured cognitive programming
On average, families can expect to pay an additional $300–$800 per month for dedicated memory care services. At Keepsake Kottage, we integrate dementia care into our core philosophy, offering compassionate memory support as part of our customized pricing—not as a major upcharge.
Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover assisted living costs, as it’s considered non-medical custodial care. However, there are options to help offset the cost:
Long-term care insurance policies
Veterans benefits (such as Aid and Attendance)
Private savings or retirement income
Medicaid waivers (if eligible, depending on care level and financial need)
We recommend speaking with a care advisor or financial planner to explore available benefits.
Home-style care: We don’t operate large facilities—we care for residents in real homes with familiar surroundings.

We work with families across all spectrums of Wichita—from Eastborough to Haysville, from College Hill to Westside—and we understand the local challenges and expectations that come with Wichita-based care.
Every family’s situation is different. We’d love to speak with you personally, learn more about your loved one’s needs, and provide a customized plan and quote that fits your budget.
