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.
Age-in-Place Community
In Topeka, Kansas, our faith-centered Life Plan Community provides seniors with a comprehensive array of cutting-edge services. From independent living to assisted living and home plus options, we cater to diverse needs. Additionally, we offer seamless referrals to home health services, outpatient rehab, and hospice care
"I have witnessed the wonderful achievements made by Aldersgate Village as they strive to carry out the vital ministry of compassionately caring for our elderly brothers and sisters."
– BISHOP SCOTT JONES, Former Bishop of the Kansas Area United Methodist Church
Stronger Every Day... Always Moving Forward
Faithfully enhancing the lives of seniors
Welcoming Aldersgate Village is a faith-based senior living neighborhood, open to people of all denominations and faith backgrounds. Our purpose is driven not by a profit motive, but rather to ensure that seniors in this region receive compassionate, person-centered healthcare in a warm and welcoming community.
Our Christian and socially responsible mission is to serve and advocate for those advanced in age. By actively engaging mind, body, and spirit, we ensure seniors receive love, care, respect, and dignity in their most vulnerable years.
Since 1904, our mission of service to the community remains — to ensure seniors not only live but thrive — as we faithfully enhance the lives of elders in the greater Topeka region.
