About Aldersgate Village

WE TREASURE EVERY RESIDENT

They say it takes a village. And that's as true at the beginning of life as it is in our golden years. People matter. Belonging matters. Feeling cared for matters. That's why we've developed an entire Life Plan Community around the principle that senior living is about living well. Our residents enjoy delicious food, fellowship and fun, while putting their trust in our caring staff. At Aldersgate, everyone is family.

Our Mission

Faithfully enhancing the lives of seniors

Welcoming Aldersgate Village is a faith-based senior living neighborhood, open to people of all denominations and faith backgrounds. Our purpose is driven not by a profit motive, but rather to ensure that seniors in this region receive compassionate, person-centered healthcare in a warm and welcoming community.


Our Christian and socially responsible mission is to serve and advocate for those advanced in age. By actively engaging mind, body, and spirit, we ensure seniors receive love, care, respect, and dignity in their most vulnerable years.


Since 1904, our mission of service to the community remains — to ensure seniors not only live but thrive — as we faithfully enhance the lives of elders in the greater Topeka region.

For more than a century, our mission of service remains – to ensure individuals not only live but thrive – as we faithfully enhance the lives of elders in the greater community.
