"My husband has moved in. It’s been a favorable experience. We chose this one because of the therapy that was available. The room is a studio and very small. My husband is participating in a therapy, which takes up most of his time there. He has been in some of the groups that they have, like the musical group and the card group. The service is satisfactory. They have some outings, so my husband went out for lunch one day. The food is excellent. "

"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! "

"My mother-in-law is at Vintage Park, and I think it's a good place for her. Her room is clean, she plants in the garden area, they make things, and she plays Scribbage. The food is not bad, she eats there, and doesn't eat out much. They gather out in the front area a lot, and they have family day. It's a perfect place for us. The staff is nice, and we get along"

The residents were sitting and eating, they were sitting and watching TV, and they were getting their meds. The staff who helped us were nice and professional. They answered our questions."

They don't have too many people in it yet, but it's very impressive as far as the facility is concerned. The staff was very nice."

"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."

"When you walk into Tiffany Springs Senior Living, it's just like a big castle. It's pretty fancy. The most thing I'm going for is the menu, you can have anything you want on the menu. This place I'm in now, you only got two entrees, and I'm not too happy with the place I'm in now. It's going to be just a little cheaper than what I'm paying now. The place is new; it's only two years old, too. It's got a full kitchen. The person who showed me around was great. She pushed me all around twice in a wheelchair. She was very nice. They got a courtyard."

"We are residents of the Garden Villas of Lenexa. What we like best is that we have an adequate apartment size, and the least, sometimes they're a little slow with their maintenance, otherwise it's OK. They're short-staffed a lot. But the food is good, it's laid out OK, and they keep the place clean."

"We like Trustwell Living of Overland Park the best mainly because it was a smaller facility, and it was built in an H shape. The dining areas and other areas were in the center, and you walk out of your room and then there was the elevator, so it was not so much of a walk from a person's room into the outside areas and the eating areas. For some reason, we like it better. The staff were very nice. They do assessments of the residents to make sure what level they would need to be, and a person's doctor would order assisted living. Nobody had ever said something like that. They have different therapies, they have podiatrists that come in, they work with a dental group, and they have beauticians that come in, but this is the only one that ever mentioned a podiatrist. We like the layout, and the rooms were nice, too. The location was convenient, which would be another thing. There weren't that many residents and it was a smaller facility."

"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."

"I wish my mom could live here. That place is awesome, and the rooms are nice. It looked like little apartments. They have a dining room with a menu board, and they give them choices. The food is served hot. The staff was really helpful and gave me a book to find other places that would suit my mom and her condition. I love the place. They have a physical therapist and little kitchenettes. Their rooms are set up like an apartment with walk-in showers. It's spacious and doesn't feel cramped up in there. The dining room was clean, and the food smelled really good."

"The Groves seems more like a family place. My visit there was fine. It was good. It was clean. I'm hoping I don't have to go because I can't afford it. It's a lot of money to go there. The place is not modern, and it could use some remodeling. I tried their food and it's pretty good."

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.
