Independent Living Communities in Leawood, KS

"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 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."

"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."

"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."

"We liked it here. The two-bedroom apartment was spacious. We liked the idea of having the washer and dryer in it. They had a lot of activities and that's what I was kind of going for. The apartment had a kitchen and a microwave, a full stove, and a full-size refrigerator. We were looking at the independent living and then we could go down and eat our meals downstairs. They had what they call the bistro and the day we were there, they were having prime rib and it smelled delicious. They have a theater room where at night, you can go in and watch movies, and I thought that was unique. They play bingo. You can go down and do cards or work puzzles and they take little trips. There was a bus parked in the parking lot. They had a beautiful courtyard where you could go out and sit. They had awnings or umbrellas over the bench to help you from the sun."

"I was very impressed with Elliott Place, even before I pulled up and came in. The location is very clean and very upkept. The apartments were just wonderful. The setup was nice. Nice space. Washer and dryer accessibility. Activity available if you like. Good transportation services are needed when needed. The management was excellent. She was very concerned and very attentive. She wanted to help in any way she could. Great location in Raytown. You could buy everything you could think of, from grocery stores to a little convenience store, to shopping secondhand, and to every restaurant you could think of. I would rate it very highly. I would tell everybody about it. I haven't tasted the food, but I saw the food in the tray, and it looked very nice. I like that you can add extra if you want. You get a cleaning service in your apartment and food delivered or picked up. You can do a la carte. Like they may have something special that particular day that you like, and you can go over and order your meal then."

"The Crestone Senior Living looked great. It was very clean. I love the staff. The girl who took me around was wonderful. Their food service was like going to a restaurant. It's very nice. The girl also introduced me to some of the people who were there. I liked them. It's brand new. It's only nine years old. So, it's very, very clean, very friendly, and very updated."

"We are in the process of moving my father-in-law into Solstice Senior Living at Lee's Summit. He hasn't moved in yet, but we have a projected date. It's clean and very friendly. They offer the things that we need with three meals a day and a lot of activities and things like that. Everyone was very professional. They have an association with aging in place, which allows a lot of options to be added onto the independent living without having to go into assisted living, so it saves quite a bit of money for the individual. The staff was very knowledgeable. They answered questions well. We were there during lunchtime and saw what people were eating. It looked good, and it looked well-balanced. They also have physical therapy, speech therapy, and stuff, so those options are there. It's a well-rounded community. The place is very clean. They have amenities. They also have a theater room and stuff, too."

"We looked at The Princeton Senior Living. They were clean and professional. They offered the services that we would have wanted. We didn't try the food, but they offered us beverages."

"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 went to Connect55+ Independence and met with the manager, Amy. She was just very enjoyable and very friendly. She gave me a walk-through of the one and two-bedroom apartments, but I believe the one-bedroom was already taken. For the price, it is well worth it. They have a gym. It's very independent. If you're in good health and everything, it is a great place to live. I looked at the one-bedrooms and they were pretty spacious. They have a nice closet and liked that they have a separate laundry in the apartments. The kitchens were pretty modern. I was just impressed with the whole thing. It was very clean and very neat. To me, parking is everything. I'm 67 and I'm very active. I come and go, so the parking lot has to be pretty well-lit, and I would feel very safe living there."

"I feel like I'm being spoiled here. We have good people that will help me. I just go down for food and they take care of me with housekeeping. It's a nice place. They give you a menu for the week ahead and you pick your entrees. They usually have pretty good choices here. I've not had anything that I had to turn back. On the weekends, it's strictly buffet. On the weekdays, when you go down, they just serve you and you get a variety of drinks. They're just good. The servers know your name and they anticipate what you're going to want to drink. The food tastes good. They have a lot of activities available. Most of them are resident-led. They don't have fancy facilities, but we don't need anything fancy at this point in time. They have a courtyard where they can go out and have a firepit or barbecue outside. They have a door park, and we have some residents that have dogs, so it works out pretty well. Mainly I have interactions with the servers, and that's good. We don't have a swimming pool here, but we have an exercise room, a couple of game rooms, puzzle rooms, and stuff like that."

"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."
