About Lawrence Presbyterian Manor

Lawrence Presbyterian Manor is a faith-based, not-for-profit senior living community in Lawrence, Kansas, offering a full continuum of care including independent living, assisted living, long-term care, and short-term rehabilitation. The community operates as part of Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America, a not-for-profit organization with 75 years of senior living experience in Kansas and Missouri.

Independent living residents enjoy private apartments or townhomes with attached garages and covered parking, along with a maintenance-free lifestyle. Assisted living provides private apartments with support for daily tasks such as housekeeping and bathing, allowing residents to maintain independence while receiving needed help. Long-term care serves seniors with chronic health conditions requiring more intensive support and dedicated caregiving.

The 11-acre campus offers amenities including a library, ice cream machine, and an array of recreational activities. Residents can participate in day trips to nearby cities such as Kansas City and Topeka. The community emphasizes an active social environment where residents can engage with peers and pursue interests of their choosing.

Pet ownership is permitted in independent living, with residents allowed one dog, one cat, two birds, or fish, subject to a non-refundable pet fee. Independent living residents with entrance fees receive priority access to assisted living and long-term care services as their needs change.

Long-term care residents accept Medicaid-approved individuals, though assisted living does not participate in Medicaid. Independent living operates on an entrance fee with monthly accommodation fees, while assisted living and long-term care charge flat-rate monthly fees based on floor plan selection.

We have lived at Presbyterian Manor for over 9 years both in the townhouses and the main building. We love the staff and the residents. They all feel like family. I have been in the Book club, on the food committee and the residents council. We are comforted by having other levels of care available if we need them. We advise friends to move while they are able to get settled themselves and the friendships.

I have a relative living on the skilled nursing level in Lawrence. The staff treat him as family, and he has become his 2nd family. It is such a comfort knowing he is cared for so well. They great him when he comes in and miss him when he is gone. He can’t see their faces smiles on their faces as they greet him, but it is so genuine and universal. As an autistic, blind man his needs are unique but they’ve gone out of their way to accommodate them. I can’t say enough about this staff that cares so deeply. A special shoutout to Gabriel who is so very special. Thank you

My younger sister was living by herself in her apartment, but her health problems caused her to be nervous and scared to live alone. I started researching nursing homes and Lawrence Presbyterian Manor was recommended to me. I met with the social worker, Ursula, and she helped me with all the paperwork and questions that I had. I was concerned for my sister, and Ursula helped reassure me through the process. All of the staff are so friendly and helpful and I no longer have to worry about my sister's safety and her health. My sister is adjusting to her life there very well, and I owe that all to the care and helpfulness of all of the staff at Lawrence Presbyterian Manor. I would highly recommend them to everyone needing assistance for their loved ones.

We got on the list to give us options for my very disabled sister. When the opportunity presented, we didn't hesitate. From the very beginning the staff was kind, helpful, so friendly and obviously dialed it to each of their respective responsibilities. Their Social Worker, Ursula, beyond belief in her care and accommodation. Amy, DON, outstanding. I can, by name, praise the care-givers, from transportation, housekeeping, dietary, to all personnel who provide the day-to-day care. We are so very pleased, as is my sister, and appreciate the privilege of being at Presbyterian Manor. I am delighted to share our experience and wish PM continued legacy and success in Lawrence.

From the moment we met with Ursula, the social worker, and all the staff members involved in our situation ,we received unbelievable care and support. They took wonderful care of our sister, and helped us walk through a difficult time. I’m so thankful we were able to have her placed at Presbyterian Manor.
