Topside Manor-Sherman County

Topside Manor Inc is a non-profit nursing facility in Goodland, Kansas, offering skilled nursing care with a person-directed care model. The facility currently has 45 beds and serves elderly residents from Sherman County and surrounding areas.

The community operates under a "Graceful Living" care approach that emphasizes individualized care provided by care partners. The philosophy prioritizes intentional, home-like living rather than institutional practices, with staff focused on people and meaningful engagement rather than process-driven routines.

The facility's current building features a small home design with private bedrooms and bathrooms, along with shared open kitchen, dining, and living spaces. These accommodations support the person-directed care model that guides the community's operations. The original structure was built in 1960 and underwent renovations in 1976, 1982, 1997, 2001, and 2005. Following a change in ownership in 2019, residents moved into the newly redesigned home in July 2022.

As a significant employer in Sherman County with 50 staff members and an annual payroll of nearly $2 million, Topside Manor is an integral part of the local health care system and community. The facility has served elderly residents and their families for decades, allowing long-time Sherman County residents to age in place while remaining close to friends and family in their community.
