Determining what makes each type different can help you narrow down what’s best for your needs. In this guide, you’ll find some definitions for the most commonly used terms in senior living.

Topeka Presbyterian Manor is looking for volunteers for different activities within the community. We are currently looking for help in the following areas: assisting or leading all levels of activities, 1:1 visits with HC and AL residents in their rooms, reading mail and visiting, or leading a program with an interest or skill you have such as a craft, game, trivia, puzzles, etc. If you're interested in volunteering with us please contact Linda Ruiz, Wellness and Activities Director at 785-272-6510 or by email at linda.ruiz@aegistherapy.com.
