Generous Donations Fuel 2025 Staff Appreciation Fund at Tallgrass Creek
Residents thank dedicated employees by contributing over $177,553.

Tallgrass Creek, the Erickson Senior Living community in Overland Park, Kansas, distributed more than $177,553 to 463 eligible hourly team members through its 2025 Staff Appreciation Fund (SAF).
The SAF, made possible through donations from benevolent residents, was dispersed during a special community celebration on December 3. At the festive event, team members enjoyed a delicious holiday meal and had the opportunity to thank residents for the gift. The gifts served as a thank you for providing residents with industry-leading services that enhance the community’s engaging, worry-free lifestyle.
“The generosity of our residents truly embodies the spirit of the season,” said Executive Director Adam Dickson. “Their support of the Staff Appreciation Fund speaks volumes about the close-knit community we’ve built together. Our team members consistently go above and beyond—bringing compassion, creativity, and dedication to everything they do. Thanks to their efforts, Tallgrass Creek remains an extraordinary place to live and work.”
