I like The Gardens at Creekside because it's located personally close to me and the price was reasonable. The building is probably 10 to 15 years old and in good condition. They would supply meals if she wants them, and although she doesn't need them they're available when she does. They have hair care, a library, a park, puzzle area with multiple kinds of puzzles, they also have all kinds of things that she likes. They also have 2-bedroom units. I know their food because I buy from the same place that they purchase from, so I know what they get from Hy-Vee. The staff was very good at what they're doing. In terms of facilities, they have everything a senior person would need. The Olathe's public library is brand new and right across the street too and it has cafes and such.

We've had a good experience with The Gardens at Creekside. The place was very welcoming and very clean, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. My mother's apartment there is a 1-bedroom with a living room and a bathroom but they also have a variety of rooms. They have a shuttle there that can take people where they want to. It's a 55+ apartment, the rent is very reasonable and the only other expense there is that they pay their own electric bill. They get meals 5 days a week, lunches and dinners, from in-house. And then for the weekend, they're responsible for their meals. They have a beauty salon, and they do activities when they're not in the midst of a pandemic. My mother got in there right at the beginning when this thing exploded so she hasn't had any chance yet to exercise any of those.

A lot of my friends have retired, and they are living at The Gardens and really like it. It's a very good place, and everybody that moved in seemed to like it. They've got activities and things going on. They had people all over the place doing something. They had puzzle set up, people talking doing puzzles. It's very nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

I am/was a resident of this facility
I lived at Gardens at Creekside for a year and I loved it. The facility is beautiful. The hallways and the apartment were recessed back so you could dress up the outside of your door in any way that you want to. When you enter my apartment, you had the laundry on the left and you had the kitchen on the right and a long living room. Then there was a hallway to the left where I had your bathroom and the bedroom. The only thing that I didn't like about it, was it didn't have its own balcony. You could either cook you own meal or had your meal done. They had meals every day, but it was an outside chef that came in to do it So, it's not that you needed to pay a large amount of money included in your rent in order to have nice meal by a chef. You'll sign out for how many meals you want and then you would pay in advance and then you'd have your meals ready for you. At that time my rent was $900 a month and I also paid for the electricity. We had garage sales in there. They had companies come in and sell their cloths. In the evening they had wine tasting. The best thing that I really liked about it is the total freedom. There were very few rules. You got to have a special key to get into the front door. It was totally electronic and if lost your key at night, they had nobody on duty. So, you would have to call a neighbor or some to hit that button so you could get in. They could try to do something to keep somebody in the office all night. Also, there was not enough parking for the residents and the visitors. I was very happy when I was there. I would highly recommend it to others.
