Assisted Living Communities in Lees Summit, MO

"The manager at Carnegie Village Senior Living Community seems nice and had good contact with me when I went in and visited. He followed up with me regularly. They have a nice apartment. It's a small studio, but it has a little kitchen area, a full-size shower/bathroom, and a walk-in closet. They have parties, regular get-togethers, and pretty good mental health services. The apartment I am going in looks out into the park. The facility's very clean. They got a nice dining room."

"It's quiet there at Brookdale Wornall Place, even though it's kind of in a busy area. It doesn't have anything behind it. There are fields there. Even though you're not very far off the road, it still feels like you're out in the country. The room has a small kitchen and a refrigerator. We looked at a couple of one-bedrooms. The staff who toured me around was very knowledgeable. It seems like he has been in the business for several years. He was very patient. I had my dog with me, and he took that well, too. The place was clean. I didn't smell anything. They got friendly staff. When you walk in, they got a large entryway. You don't have to walk up any stairs or anything. I noticed that they got ramps. We took the elevator, and we took the stairway, too. They have an underground, which was nice."

"I tour St Anthony's; I like they have all levels of care, The views from the apartments were beautiful and spotless. The food is incredible. the activities and exercise were great always had residents busy. The staff was so friendly and nice."

"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."

"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,"

"I went to The Madison Senior Living. It's very open. I didn't see a lot of diversity in the community, but the staff was nice. The patients that were walking around were pretty friendly. The dining area was nice. It was open and bright with a lot of windows, but I didn't try the food. The staff who gave the tour was nice. He answered all my questions and answered things that I didn't think I needed answers to."

"The Ashton on the Plaza was very nice. The location is great because it's in the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri. The inside of the building is pretty new. It's made for assisted living really. The only thing about it is that the cost is really pretty high and I didn't feel that my friend would be able to afford that. It was a great place. The food was wonderful. The staff that I met was nice. The rooms were very nice. They were roomy enough. It was very attractive. They were different as far as the floor plan was concerned. They had one- and two-bedrooms. One of the things that I think was really good is that they invited us to come out for a visit, even if my friend was in the hospital. As a friend, I could come out and look and see the place so I could be able to tell her my experience. They also offered and came to pick me up to take me there and bring me back home. I had lunch with them, that's why I know that the food was good. The dining area was very nice. It was not as large, but certainly large enough to comfortably seat all of the residents that they would have."

"We are on the waiting list for Mission Chateau. We chose them because the people we met and talked to, including the person who showed us around and gave us the tour was spectacular, and that was a very important reason. And the second major reason was the financial model that was used, there was no large buy-in upfront. The person who toured us was friendly, professional, thorough, and a good listener. The place had the things we were looking for. I can't do much physically anymore except swim, and it does have a swimming facility. There are all sorts of activities, clubs, and gatherings that we can choose to get involved in if we want to."

"After spinal surgery and a stroke, my mother went to Brookdale Overland Park for a month of intensive rehabilitation. Her experience was terrific. The nurses, therapists, and doctors on staff were thorough, professional, compassionate, and encouraging. They took the time to get to know her, and encouraged her in a safe and realistic way. She emerged after one month, competent and confident, and ready to return to independent living. In addition, the facility provided excellent activities and self care services like happy hour, football game viewing parties, and a hair salon, making her time there not just productive but also enjoyable. Finally, the administrative and support staff provided me with the information I needed with regard to finances and continuing care upon discharge from the facility. Overall, I would give Brookdale Overland Park a double thumbs up. We loved everything about it!"

"My relative will move into Trustwell Living of Overland Park. The woman who called me, whose name was Beth, was like a breath of fresh air. The whole place is clean, and it doesn't smell bad. It's awesome. They serve three meals a day. They have a patio and a safe walking path for your loved one to go out and walk on."

"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 visited the Garden Villas of Lenexa. I like the layout. I like their use of color. They have lots of activities to choose from. The people I visited who are residents there all have positive things to say about the facility, the staffing, and the meals. It was a very happy, active bunch of people. Some people there need more care, but they're actually in a different part of the building. So, the independent people are not mixed in with those needing more care. The staff all seem very upbeat and interested in helping you find answers if you have questions, or getting the information together to send home with you to look over the activities and different tips outside the facility. They offered to let you come in for two nights and three days and live in one of their room facilities, which they lease out when you have family members come and need a place to stay. You can stay there and go to the meals, and you can go to their activities to see exactly what it's like living there, and that's a valuable thing to offer. They're not your normal senior living. They were very clean. The dining room was interesting. They used more color than most of the facilities do. They had bright turquoise, magenta, and bright gold colors. It was just a very cheerful place, and I have a cat that I would bring in."

"Our Lady of Mercy will forever be my first recommendation to anyone in the KC area asking about Assisted Living. We moved my grandma there after she was neglected at another facility. The difference in care, culture and community at Our Lady of Mercy was such a breath of fresh air. The staff care so deeply for the residents and treat them like members of their own family. The community of residents is vibrant and fun. This is a special place and the staff here should be so proud of the hard work they do to provide love and dignity to those that deserve it most."

"It looks very nice and very attractive. It smells great when you walk in the door. It smells like freshly baked bread. The staff is friendly. A nurse called me several times regarding mom's medication issues, but that's not the facility's problem. Mom has two little rooms and it's very nice. It's enough for her. The bathrooms are accommodating. There's periodically contact with the doctor."
