Midwest Health acquires Vintage Park assisted living locations
Tonganoxie has eclipsed a population of 5,500, according to estimates recently released. The next official county will come with the 2020 U.S. Census.
Midwest Health has completed the largest acquisition in its nearly 50-year history — adding 15 assisted living communities across the state, including one in Tonganoxie.
Previously operated as Vintage Park, the communities will now join the Homestead Assisted Living family.
This strategic expansion adds about 600 apartments and more than 315 employees to Midwest Health’s growing network, which now serves about 4,000 seniors daily and employs more than 3,800 team members across six states.
“This acquisition is a milestone for our company, expanding our footprint in Kansas,” said Brett Klausman, President of Midwest Health.
“We’re proud to be headquartered in Topeka and even more proud to grow our presence right here at home,” Klausman said. “With the help of our financial partner, Capital Federal, we’re supporting Kansas seniors and creating jobs for Kansans. We’re investing in the future of our state while caring for our neighbors.”
Jim Klausman, CEO and co-founder, added: “Midwest Health has always believed that great care starts locally. The services these communities provide are essential – especially in rural areas where both access to health care and jobs are needed.
“With our network of tools and resources, all our communities will continue to provide outstanding support for decades to come. This is the definition of Kansans caring for Kansans, and we are in it for the long haul.”
The Vintage Park in Tonganoxie that’s joining Homestead Assisted Living is at 120 W. Eighth St.
Other newly acquired communities are in Atchison, Baldwin City, Gardner, Hiawatha, Holton, Lenexa, Louisburg, Osage City, Osawatomie, Ottawa, Overland Park, Paola, Wamego and Wichita.
Vintage Park opened its doors in Tonganoxie in 2009.
