The Welstone at Mission Crossing is a senior living community in Mission, KS that offers its residents comfort and autonomy. This is possible through spacious maintenance-free apartments, flexible gourmet dining, health, fitness, and wellness programs, an active social life through a packed calendar, and helpful support services.
HomeCare News reports that 66% of Americans would prefer independence as opposed to a longer life dependent on others. And for those already 65 and older, this desire increases to 78%.
It’s clear that we want to age with dignity, but it’s inevitable that we’ll require help to some degree as we get older. In that case, you’ll want to find a senior living community that balances comfort with autonomy.
You’ll get exactly that at The Welstone at Mission Crossing in Mission, KS. These are the ways we give residents comfort in retirement.
Spacious Maintenance-Free Apartments
Our residents get lifestyle-first senior housing at The Welstone at Mission Crossing. There are one and two-bedroom apartments available, spanning from 510 to 957 square feet.
All apartments come with full laundry units, so you can get clean clothes without trekking across the premises to run loads. You’ll also get a full kitchen where you can cook delicious meals in the comfort of your own living space.
However, you won’t have to worry about the more mundane tasks. Our staff members will take care of the housekeeping and maintenance, leaving you with a safe and clean space.
Flexible Gourmet Dining
Older adults need good nutrition to stay healthy and independent. But it can be difficult to tell exactly what your changing nutrition needs are as you age, and you may not always feel up to cooking.
What’s great is that you can take a night off whenever you want and utilize our Sensations Dining program. Not only can you get chef-prepared meals, but you can also eat them in our elegant dining room, where friends and neighbors can gather.
They’ll prepare anything from local delights to international cuisines, which can keep things interesting. And in addition to using the freshest ingredients, the chefs can custom-make your meals to suit any dietary requirements or restrictions you may have.
Health, Fitness, and Wellness Programs
Another part of independent wellness living is staying fit. Our Dimensions Health and Fitness program aims to treat wellness in a holistic manner, addressing not only the physical and medical side of things, but also the emotional, social, spiritual, and intellectual areas.
Residents benefit from our state-of-the-art FitCamp fitness center that has a wide range of exercise classes. You can also take advantage of our personal trainer on the premises. By keeping yourself fit, you’ll experience better physical and mental health, which can aid in independence.
Active Social Life Through a Packed Calendar
The World Health Organization (WHO) says that social connection is linked to improved health and reduced risk of early death. What’s unfortunate about aging is that social activity can decrease due to health issues and other life circumstances. But if you seek out an active senior community in KS, you can combat loneliness and isolation.
Here at The Welstone at Mission Crossing, our Celebrations Activities and Events program ensures that you have plenty to do. That includes:
- Exercise classes
- Themed parties
- Card games
These provide natural social settings where you can have fun and make friends.

Autonomy in health includes:
