"Our second choice would be Saint Luke's Bishop Spencer Place. We like the place, the activities that would be open to us if we live there, and the people that we met including the person who showed us around. We had lunch there a couple of times, and the food was great. We liked all of those things. The big negative for us was the upfront cost. We certainly had the money, but we were reluctant to dip into our nest egg to pay the upfront amount, and that was what we liked the least. The staff were friendly and professional. They had the offerings of what we were looking for with one exception. They did not have a swimming facility, but everything else was excellent."

"I live in Claridge Court and I love it here. It's a wonderful place. It was remodeled about a year ago, or maybe a year and a half, and it's very up-to-date. It's a small community of senior residences and that is one of the things that I like most about it. You get to know everyone who lives here and it's like a big family. We all know each other and care for each other, and that makes it very pleasant. We have an activity room, library, card room, a tub, a grill, and a dining room. We have a big garage at the lower level which is good for safety and bad weather. We have all sorts of activities. We have a fitness center, lots of machines, and a big room where we have numerous classes of yoga, seated exercise, and volleyball. It can change all the time and we can change to different activities. The food is wonderful. We can order just about anything we'd like if we don't care for what's on the menu or are not very hungry we can order a hamburger, homemade potato chips, a grilled cheese or tuna salad, and chicken salad. We have wonderful employees. Many of them have been there for years and years. We have wonderful maids and good servers. The maintenance people and cleaning people have been here for years."

"We chose to live here in Hidden Lake Care Center because of the location. Like the name itself, it's like a hidden location with a lake. People can't find you unless they know where you live. The independent living has all utilities paid, and there's free washer and dryer usage. I have a very large one bedroom. They keep everything cut neat. Whenever I have any issues, the maintenance team is for it in a timely manner. There's a meeting room where if you have a family or friends that you don't want to meet in your apartment, you can meet them in the center of the complex. It has a kitchen, a TV, and chairs. So, you entertain people without having them in your apartment. The only thing that they have that's not up to date is their parking lot. It needs to be improved."

"I moved into Overland Park Place. It has everything I need and everything I would like to have. The people here are very nice and very friendly. I like my apartment, it's very spacious. I also like the amenities here. We have three meals a day, and the food is pretty good. They have a lot of activities that I'm looking forward to being able to participate in."

"I've looked at Heritage House. It's an old building. Maintenance could be better. It has a pervasive odor of cooking smells all throughout the building. The apartments are old and not terribly well-kept. I would say they were mediocre. There are not as many organized activities as we have here at this location, but they have some activities and they're on the bus route for the Independence. It stops regularly to pick up people. I didn't look into activities very thoroughly because once I saw the size of the apartments, I realized I wasn't going to be happy there. I would rate the staff a three because they didn't seem as friendly and open as I would have expected to what could have been a prospective tenant. It was more a case of "I've got other things to do, so let's get this over with so I can get back to my job." They have a very small tenant-run library. It wasn't well organized. They have a small community room. It just gives the impression of being dark and cramped. It's a big building, but they've minimized the square footage per tenant, so it just feels small."

"I could not have done this move without the support of Barbara G. She has helped in every phase and has been a positive new person in my life. She listens and has compassion. I came here alone and afraid. Barbara has helped in more ways than a general office manager. She helped me to feel grounded and her office skills are spectacular."

"The care and concern of the nurses and nurses aides on a scale of 1 to 10 is 20! The food was pleasing to the palette with a wide variety of choices. The physical therapy team was outstanding. I would highly recommend The forum. "

"I have already moved into Kingswood. The facilities are old, but they've been well kept. The food is very good. It's just not what they provide, you have many choices, and that's good. There are lots of physical activity. The people seem to be very friendly. Because of the friendliness of the residents, I would give it a 5. I haven't participated much in activities because there are so many problems, but I think they'll be just fine. I have been staying here for about a month now."

"I toured Park Meadows Senior Living. It was a nice place. It was really nice and roomy. The staff and director, she was pretty nice. She walked us around the place. It was more like in the neighborhood because across the street was the high school."

"I saw a number of different apartments at Brookdale Leawood. Some of them were kind of oddly shaped, but they had wisely staged a couple of them so that you could see how furniture could fit into them. They were very nice and basically all anybody would need. They have a small swimming pool, which was fantastic. They also have car ports available. The dining area was beautiful, with very high ceilings; it was very classic and very rich looking. They have an awful lot of activities and it seemed like the people knew each other, which also was very nice. I looked at their menu and the saleslady was wonderful. She seemed to know a lot of people and knew the ins and outs of their activities. It's a very nice place. Everybody that I talked to was wonderful. It's a very nice facility. It's a little bit older, but for the value, it's a five."

"My father has been at Westchester Village of Lenexa's assisted living since February and he's happy there. The place is very clean and up-to-date. There's an exercise room and a hairdresser. They also have bus trips and regular outings to grocery stores, Wal-Mart, and things like that. They provide transport to the doctor's office and doctor's appointments. They also have a preacher who comes in once a week and they do Bible study. The staff seems very attentive and professional. They're very communicative. The rooms are spacious, handicapped-accessible, and in good repair. I have not tried their food but he eats 3 times a day and he is happy with it. Their dining area is restaurant-style and it seems to be nicely done. They're on the high end, but I think I'm getting good value for my money."

"We picked out Mom's apartment at Shawnee Hills Senior Living. The place is very nice, the apartment is very nice, the amenities are very good, and the buildings are very nice. The people are nice and the food is good. They had her eat a meal with them, and it was very good. The staff members who gave the tour were very friendly, and very good in giving all the information. They were all very accommodating and very nice. They provide everything for them. They have a response team, they provide them a pendant, and somebody sits down at the front door 24/7. So I was impressed with that."
