"Location was important for us, but the main reason why we chose Trustwell Living at Mission Spring for my brother was that they had 2 RNs on staff, which not all of the other facilities had. The people are all very nice and trying very hard. They were just bought out so they're going through a lot of transition. As a result, they've lost a lot of people as they're bringing in new ones and they've been doing a lot of painting every night. It's in a nice setting. There's a little garden area that's easily accessible. They have the nicest activity directors that are just amazing and lovely. I've been really surprised at how much my brother is willing to get into the activities. He is going to play trivia this afternoon and he just checks every day what's available."

"We chose to move Mom to Burlington Creek Senior Living because it was clean and because of their attention to detail, as far as paints and accommodations. There were no chips and scrapes. All the employees acknowledged us and were very friendly. Management was friendly. They were really easy to work with and the amenities were nice. The food and the restaurant they have is probably the best that I've seen. The food is good. It's well prepared. It's not dry. It's not burnt. It tastes good and they spend a lot of attention on the preparation and details. When you get there, you have the waiters and waitresses who know every person by name. They know what they drink and what they like, and they're very personable. It was just a good experience and a good environment."

"I love it; it's awesome. They are very friendly and very helpful. All the residents are new in their house, so they are getting to know each other which is very good. The grounds are beautiful, and the place is new. The rooms are beautiful and spacious, and Mom brought her own furniture. I had a meal there, and everything I had was good. Each house has 20 apartments connected to it, and each on has its own dining room, but there is a central kitchen where all the food is cooked. The house lady takes care of special orders or anything that they want that's not what the chef prepared that day."

"The rooms vary but for the most part are spacious in size that come with a kitchenette. My dad is located on the memory care floor - the staff are amazing and very patient. The activities coordinator makes sure this floor is extremely inviting - she decorates for the holidays to watch parties down for ball season. The care coordinator and resident facility director always ask how my mom is doing - extremely thoughtful. I appreciate everything they do for my dad... we chose correctly when selecting this facility."

"I have inspected quite a few residences in the Southern Kansas city area and this is by far the best of the lot. The lady I worked with, Kelly, was very friendly but more importantly, knew her business extremely well. She understood our problems and work hard to reach a solution for us. The facility was clean, bright and cheerful and the residents seemed happy and without problem. I think we have found our home! "

They gave me a little bag of cookies from their kitchen. In the independent living facility, they had a stove and refrigerator. In the assisted living facility, they had a mini-fridge. They do have outdoor spaces and a patio area for games and seating."

"I picked Mission Chateau because it was very clean and very new. I didn't notice any odors or anything like that. It's also very close to my home. My mom moved in last month. They're doing the best they can in the circumstances that we are in right now. They've had a lot of turnover, and I think they're a relatively young facility. I just think that they need some additional training on how to treat people with memory care. I think the food is really good. They keep her very busy. They're in a Covid lockdown because they've had an outbreak. Prior to this outbreak, she was very busy. She doesn't have Covid, so she could leave her room; however, all activities have been canceled because of the Covid outbreak."

"Armour Oaks Senior Living was a nice place. They have nice apartments. I haven't tried their food, but I saw some of it and it looked really good. They have a lot of activities and it would be a good place for my brother. It was a nice visit. They did a good job. I think their floor plans were pretty much the same. Each room has what they call a sunroom, which is a place where a person can go and just kind of relax a little bit. That was very nice. I looked at a one-bedroom. I think it's a good place. I'm going to take my brother there and let him look at the place himself. It's not perfect, but it's nice."

"My sister is in The Grand Royale's assisted living facility in Gladstone for respite care. They're helping her to get rehabilitated. They're doing physical therapy, occupational therapy, and giving her medicines. The staff members are excellent. Her living space is very spacious. The facility itself is very clean, and it's very nice. I really don't participate in the activities, and my sister doesn't need them right now, but I do know that they have them. I only know what they are charging my sister because it's daily for respite care, and I would say that it's pretty fair."

The staff was excellent, and everybody was friendly. I didn't observe anybody doing anything. They were just all sitting around tables, they weren't doing any activities.

The community is friendly, with nice rooms, a nice building, and good amenities. They provide her meals, they do bingo and games, mass, and movies. The staff was very nice. She has a nice balcony that overlooks the grounds, and I like the layout of the place. Her room is not far from the elevator, and the elevator takes her to most of the activities."

It's around a bunch of businesses, and they could have a much better parking lot. Everything they showed me was really nice. I met some of the people that worked there, and they seemed very happy to be there and liked their jobs. I liked the rooms they showed me, and they had a nice courtyard where people can go outside and get some fresh air."

"Brookdale Wornall Place was lovely. I liked the people who I met there. However, it was so far out. Nevertheless, if I am to consider some place again, I would give it a serious thought. One of the things that I really like about their living quarters was that they have kitchenettes. They have small fireplaces and walk-in closets. The room was more up-to-date than where I am now. I talked to a couple of people who live there and they seemed to be happy. They were telling me about some of the activities. I probably could fit in there really good. The staff members were very accommodating. It seemed like a nice place. They were great. I saw their menu and their dining room area and it looked great. The place was huge and gorgeous. They had a pool, too; I was very impressed. The price was a little higher, but I really liked it."

"The tour I had of Sunrise of Leawood was very positive and very encouraging. I liked the fact that you felt like you were in a home with the hallways. They had comfortable sitting areas, so you didn't feel like you just had a long hallway of apartments. They had multiple common areas. We were very comfortable with the fact that they would be able to take care of my mother's needs. They were very reassuring with what their capabilities were and showed us various apartments. I think the best way to describe it was just comfortable. You didn't feel like it was an institution. You felt like it was a comfortable place to be, not someplace that you were forced into. They had kind of a patio, but because they have memory care, things are more restricted. They were working hard trying to help ensure that the memory group did not wander off. The facility looked very good. They had an exercise area, a television area, an entertainment area, and we saw a piano for entertainment that they bring in and things along those lines, but they did not have the big entertainment facilities that you see at some of the others."

"Brookdale Overland Park all seemed very nice. It had a bit of a corporate feel instead of a homey feel. They had an outdoor area, they had a dining hall, and the bedrooms are a good size. We met their activity director and he was working one-on-one with a gentleman right then. And it looked like they had interesting spaces for the residents to be able to go in and visit and what have you. It was very well-appointed. It looked like an Italian feel to it, kind of, the architecture inside. We've been very pleased with the activities that have gone on over in the memory care and the rehab area that Mom is currently in. I haven't had a meal there but my mother has certainly enjoyed the food. They were on the more expensive side, but I would say that the value for the money was favorable. We still considered them even though they were the most expensive of the ones we looked at."

When trying to decide how to pay for assisted living, one of the first questions that comes up is "How much does it cost?" With the impact of inflation, it's more important than ever to have up-to-date information when making a financial plan for senior living.
