Personal care
Help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting, given patiently and with respect for each person’s dignity and routine.
A home for eight, right here in Merriam.
The Rose is a small assisted living home on a quiet street in Merriam, Kansas. Eight residents, care around the clock, home-cooked meals, and room at the table for family.
A real house, not an institution
With only eight residents, The Rose feels like what it is: a home. Everyone knows each other by name, meals are shared at one table, and our staff has time to learn how each person likes their coffee, their routine, and their Sunday afternoons.
We provide full-time assisted living for adults who need moderate help with daily life. Residents keep as much independence as they want, and get support with everything else.
If you’re looking for a place for a parent or loved one, we’d be glad to show you around and talk through their needs.
