Assisted Living Communities in Kearney, MO

"Meeting with the administrator at The Groves was a fantastic experience. She had a lot of knowledge and explained the services that were offered. She also gave me a tour. She was just an incredibly warm and compassionate person who understood everything I was looking for, my description of my brother, and the type of services he is going to need. We were looking for long-term assisted living care. My brother doesn't need a lot of assistance right now, but he does need some, and they have exactly what he needs. They have light housekeeping, meals are provided, some oversight of medication administration, and just plain checking on the residents to make sure they're doing well. It was a very pleasant place, very clean, and overall a comfortable home-like setting. The residents seemed to know each other, and the administrator seemed to know by name everybody we encountered on my visit. It was just truly a home-like atmosphere. I viewed mostly the rooms and the main area there, and I loved it."

"Waterford Ladies Home seemed to be a very secure and safe environment. Everybody was nice. The staff was good. They answered all the questions and showed us everything. It was very clean, very nice and neat, and well kept up. The atmosphere was very peaceful. The rooms and the layout were very decent."

"I had an in-person tour of The Parkway Senior Living. They had awesome activities for the residents. It's a beautiful facility. All of the people I met, the staff, and the other residents I met were extremely nice and caring. It was just way outside of our price range. The menu was very varied. It was like it would cater to anybody's needs."

"I toured Trustwell Living of Raytown. It's a nice place, but it just won't work for us, and even talking to the gal, the director over there, my husband would not be a good fit for that. It was very nice and clean, and the people were very friendly. I talked to several people while I was there, the residents, while I was waiting for this gal, and they couldn't talk highly enough about where they were. They have a very, very good rapport with their patients. They also have an activities director. I spoke with her about it. They do quite a lot of different activities, so they keep them occupied, which I was pleased with."

"My friend has already moved into here and it's a beautiful and wonderful place. I have never seen my friend this happy in years. The staff is wonderful. My friend's appetite has picked back up. She is just excited about it, likes to mingle with the people, make friends, and she loves the staff. She's also very happy that she gets to keep her kitty cat. I wouldn't mind living there."

"After researching and visiting several assisted living/memory care facilities, we moved my mother with Alzheimer's to Trustwell Living Mission Springs nearly 9 months ago. We have been very pleased. As Mom's condition has changed, it has been easy to work with both executive and direct care staff to make changes in her care plan. We visit frequently and have never arrived to find anything concerning. The apartment is very adequate with enough space and privacy. The common areas are kept very clean and orderly. Though there have been some staff transitions, there are always some activities during the day. Mom is very comfortable with her care staff, and they relate to her very well. The community is not enormous, and this has been a benefit. The surroundings are open and floor plan simple. Even though Mom is often confused, she has been able to navigate her surroundings without too much difficulty. Mostly, we just appreciate the staff. They are ever present and communication is very good."

"I elected a two bedroom unit in the Independent Living Space and I love it. The apartment is moderately sized with big closets and nice bathrooms. I have enjoyed my interactions with the staff that I have met,"

"My mother-in-law moved to Westbrook Care Center. The community is great. It's a caring environment with lots of activities. She has a one-bedroom apartment with a nice, very big bathroom that is very easily accessible. The dining area is wonderful. They do Wii bowling, some painting, and a lot of crafts. They have a little exercise thing, they do puzzles, and mingle amongst the people."

"Oak Pointe of Kearney was very nice. The tour was good. They walked me around and showed me different activity areas and different things that they could do, and it was nice. The staff members were good. The room was like a hotel room. They had both studios and one-bedrooms. They had different areas where residents could go to be with other people and watch TV. They also had an outside courtyard area and a dining area. However, there was not a whole lot of activity when I was there. The place was nice. It's better than I thought."

"Addington Place of Shoal Creek was beautiful, and the people seemed so cordial. They were friendly, pleasant, and knowledgeable. They showed me around. The rooms were beautiful and spacious. They had good view. That's another thing I noticed. So, I loved them. The prices were reasonable. It just seemed to fit. The dining room was an inviting area, and so, I enjoyed it. I didn't try the food, but I met the chef in the hallway, so I think the meals would be prepared just right. Also, regarding their parking situation, I could get very close to the entrance, so that was wonderful."

"I took a tour at Cedars of Liberty. I saw that they have an activity room, a cafeteria, and a little library. The rooms that I saw were normal-sized rooms and fairly nice. The staff was fine, but I did not really care for the whole place itself. "

"I toured the Bristol Manor of Smithville's independent living, and the person who greeted me- I guess she was the manager- was sloppily dressed. She was not professional. If my brother had moved there, his living quarters would have been no more than a simple little, tiny hotel room, and that just didn't work. I just also felt like it was unclean, and I didn't like it at all. The person who did the tour showed me a room because it was right there in the hallway where the office was, but as soon as I saw that, I didn't even care to go any further. The building itself was old, and I just wasn't impressed at all. The parking was okay, but it was minimal."

"My Aunt lived in the skilled nursing at Linden Woods for over three years. We moved her to Linden Woods from another facility. When we moved her, she could barely communicate with us but within a month of moving to Linden Woods she was talking again, playing bingo and was back to her old self. The staff was wonderful to her. Very patient and friendly. They got her out of her shell and doing activities again. I highly recommend Linden Woods."

"My father lived here for six months when he could no longer live alone. The staff treated him so kindly and made the transition smoothly. I am thankful for the friendship they showed my father during his last few months. "
