COUNTRYSIDE HEALTH CENTER

440 SE WOODLAND AVENUE, TOPEKA, KS 66607

Countryside Health Center presents a bit of a balancing act, excelling in keeping residents healthy while also leaning heavily on certain medications. The good news is, your loved one is likely to feel cared for by a consistent team, as their staff turnover is impressively low, meaning the faces you meet today are probably the ones you'll see tomorrow, and their skin is in great shape – meaning the staff are actively preventing and catching issues like bedsores.
