The Piper is the only assisted living community in the Kansas City area to offer physician-directed nursing. It is a stepped-up level of care that allows elders to receive highly personalized and sophisticated services to address complex medical issues. In the physician-directed nursing household, physicians are on-call 24/7, in addition to making rounds twice a month and attending monthly care plan meetings with family members and The Piper’s care team. Both home health and hospice care is available with a preferred provider, and special services to address specific medical issues are available.

Our physician-directed nursing household offers private residences and shared common areas, including an open kitchen, dining room, living room and intimate spaces to relax and visit. Each household is staffed 24/7 by team members who get to know the residents and can provide them with a higher level of care to manage medical concerns and help them remain the architects of their daily lives.
