SHAWNEE, KS (SEPTEMBER 28, 2026) – Cedarhurst Senior Living is proud to announce the opening of Cedarhurst of Shawnee, its newest Assisted Living and Memory Care community located at 6920 Lackman Road in Shawnee, Kansas. Thoughtfully designed to blend hospitality, care tailored to each resident, and a welcoming living environment, the community reflects Cedarhurst's mission to create communities where every person feels loved, valued, supported, and able to live life to the fullest.
“At Cedarhurst, we believe families should never have to settle when choosing a senior living community for themselves or someone they love,” said Almir Sajtovic, President of Cedarhurst Senior Living. “At Cedarhurst of Shawnee, we’ve been intentional about creating an experience that reflects what today’s older adults and their families are looking for. From the design of the community to the hospitality, dining, care and experiences residents enjoy each day, we’re offering something fresh, modern and centered around how people want to live. This is senior living reimagined.”
Cedarhurst of Shawnee is located at 6920 Lackman Road, just south of Shawnee Mission Parkway next to Cross Points Church. The two-story community spans 80,700 square feet on approximately 20 acres of land and features 63 assisted living apartments and 26 memory care suites, blending style with functionality to meet the diverse needs of residents.
At the heart of the resident experience is Crafted by Cedarhurst®, Cedarhurst’s personalized all-day dining program. Residents enjoy chef-inspired meals created with fresh ingredients and tailored to a variety of tastes and dietary needs, providing greater choice, flexibility and a restaurant-style dining experience every day.
Beyond dining, Cedarhurst believes everyone deserves the opportunity to continue doing what they love. Living TRUE℠, Cedarhurst’s resident-focused life enrichment program, is tailored to the unique interests and preferences of each resident, creating opportunities for connection, purpose and fulfillment each day.
For residents needing specialized memory care, Cedarhurst of Shawnee provides personalized support for those living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Compassionate, trained team members use evidence-based practices while treating each resident with dignity, respect and understanding, providing families with peace of mind knowing their loved ones are supported in a safe and welcoming environment.
“We want people to feel the difference from the moment they walk through our doors,” said Daniel Chik, Executive Director of Cedarhurst of Shawnee. “Senior living should be a place people are excited to call home, where great hospitality, meaningful relationships, exceptional dining and personalized support come together every day. Our team is excited to welcome residents and families to Cedarhurst of Shawnee and show them what senior living reimagined can truly look and feel like.”
Residents enjoy a wide range of amenities designed to make every day more comfortable and engaging, including a movie theater, beautifully landscaped courtyards, housekeeping and laundry services, and opportunities for wellness, social connection, and recreation. Thoughtfully designed common areas and private residences create a warm, welcoming environment that balances comfort, style, and functionality, allowing residents to truly feel at home.
As Cedarhurst continues to expand its presence across Kansas, the opening of Cedarhurst of Shawnee reflects the organization’s continued commitment to delivering hospitality-driven senior living experiences that put residents and families first. Cedarhurst’s growing regional footprint also includes communities in Salina, Lawrence, Topeka and Wichita, Kansas, as well as Blue Springs in the greater Kansas City area, with Cedarhurst of Manhattan expected to open in early 2027.
