About Aldersgate Village

we treasure every resident

They say it takes a village. And that's as true at the beginning of life as it is in our golden years. People matter. Belonging matters. Feeling cared for matters. That's why we've developed an entire Life Plan Community around the principle that senior living is about living well. Our residents enjoy delicious food, fellowship and fun, while putting their trust in our caring staff. At Aldersgate, everyone is family.

OUR MISSION

Faithfully enhancing the lives of seniors

Aldersgate Village is a faith-based, senior living neighborhood open to people of all denominations and faith backgrounds. Our purpose is not driven by a profit motive but to ensure that seniors of this region receive compassionate, person-centered 

health care in a warm and welcoming community.


Our Christian and socially responsible mission is to serve and advocate for those advanced in age. Through actively engaging mind, body, and spirit, we make certain they receive love, care, respect, and dignity in their most vulnerable years.


For more than a century, our mission of service remains – to ensure that individuals not only live but thrive – as we faithfully enhance the lives of elders in the greater community.

THE PATH OF PROGRESS

According to our most recently finalized audit, both our Debt Service, Coverage Ratio and our Days Cash On Hand were the highest in more than 10 years. These represent tremendous advancements in both expense reduction and revenue growth, amounting to a net improvement of nearly one million dollars. Aldersgate boasts one of the largest and fastest turnarounds in the retirement housing industry.

OUR VISION

Stronger Every Day... Always Moving Forward

RECOVERY CENTER

We are providing an entirely new level of rehabilitation to the elderly in the greater Topeka region - and provide a state-of-the-art Medicare and therapy neighborhood for the region.


MAIN LOBBY TRANSFORMATION

The main lobby and reception area in Manchester Lodge is a flexible, community-friendly space to benefit the independent living residents and their guests. From afternoon coffee to the big game to watch, this "living room" is an attractive showcase to provide residents with warm, spacious and comfortable social environments.


AGE-IN-PLACE VILLAS AND COTTAGES

To give elders peace of mind in modern, comfortable surroundings, we offer six, 2,000-square-foot villas and six, 1,700 square-foot cottages equipped with integrated adaptive technologies. Our goal is to help aging adults live independently longer. The villas and cottages boast open floor plans with high-end features and advanced technology monitoring systems to provide comforting safety and security. 


HOME PLUS

Our home plus, named "Nancy's Place," offers 12 private suites, complete with bathrooms and showers. The suites are arranged around comfortable shared spaces, including a great room, dining area, kitchen, quiet room, and outdoor courtyard. This innovative design makes Nancy's Place feel like a welcoming family home. 


NEW FRONT ENTRANCE

We have redesigned our 29th Street entrance by adding signage monuments, lighting and a left-turning lane that improve traffic flows and link Aldersgate’s legacy with our vision for the future.
