Karen Smith is one of almost 300 residents and staff members at Wichita Presbyterian Manor to receive the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine last Friday.
The pandemic changed life in retirement communities. Getting residents vaccinated is the first step in moving back to the conviviality that draws people to them.
Karen Smith decided five years ago to move into Wichita Presbyterian Manor. It was a good decision, she said. I wanted to come early. I was in the mood to move and get in some place I could be in for the rest of my life.
At 75, she’s among the younger residents there. She lives in the independent living unit the sprawling campus at 13th and Zoo Boulevard also includes assisted living, memory care, long-term care and health services and enjoys staying active.

I did not want to be isolated in my old age, she said. If you want to visit, all you have to do is walk out your door and walk down the hall. And there s usually somebody wants to visit with you, too.

John Todd describes himself as a community activist. He helped gather 17,000 signatures in a petition drive to force a public vote on the future of Century II. A judge later dismissed the petition after the city challenged it in court.
Todd said the group is not opposed to progress, but insists on good government. I don t believe that the Save Century II people are trying to impede anything, but we re interested in transparency, he said. And since they are city-owned buildings, will likely involve city incentives and financing of some sort like they did when they voted to build the first Century II I believe that [people] have the right to have a say in these things.
