Connect55+ Shawnee

Lianne

We toured Connect55+ Shawnee. My friend was looking for independent living, and she wanted some activities. Also, she found out that Meals on Wheels goes there and that the ladies at the Catholic Charity who help her clean also go there. So, she was very happy - everything except the bathtub. What I liked best was the giant kitchen and the laundry facilities in each apartment. The thing we liked least was that the available apartment was the farthest away from the elevator, but everything else was incredible. The staff was very helpful. Everything is perfect, much better than where she was living.

Connect55+ Shawnee was new and clean. The rooms they showed me were very nice, but there was no storage. Virtually no storage. The elevator was so far away that it was useless. They have stairs, but I also have a problem with stairs and stuff, and so it was just disappointing. They had a nice lounge up front and what looked like a patio, but there was nothing there. There was only one person there, and I had to sit in the office and wait for her for 15 minutes before she showed up. She was a very nice lady, though. They had nothing available in terms of meals. The facility was beautiful. They had what looked like a dining area or a get-together area, that's how she described it.

I toured Connect55+ Shawnee, and it was really good. The place just felt good. It had a good atmosphere to it. The cleanliness is great, and I enjoyed the way the apartment looked.

The day I went to Connect55+ Shawnee, the person wasn't there to show me around, and then somebody else had to do it. It was dark and gloomy when you walked in, and the elevator was a long walk to the apartment they took us to, so that was another turn-off, too. It wasn't comfortable. Cleanliness was fine. I didn't find anything out of place. They had a game room and a movie room. The room was nice. I liked the kitchen and everything, but it was a little small for me. It was a one-bedroom, and somebody else would probably love it, but I just need a little bit more space to move around. Everything is almost connected. You don't have any room. The dining room was dark and gloomy as well. The woman who was supposed to give me the tour was off that day. The person who stepped in did good, but I'm sure I would have gotten more information if it had been the correct person.

Everything was good about Connect55+ Shawnee. It was very clean and nice. The room was nice, too. The staff during the tour was very nice and very knowledgeable. She told me everything. They had some kind of a game or something when I was there, but I didn't really pay too much attention on that.

Connect55+ Shawnee was a very nice place. They just didn't have a lot of garage space, so that would be the only negative for that. The staff was excellent and explained everything very nicely. It was a nice, comfortable place. The room was also nice and clean. They have a lot of activities to mix in with the other residents in the building. They have a nice area for exercising to do that. They have a washer-dryer in the apartment, but they have another bigger area if you wanted to wash something larger like blankets or a bedspread. There's a little charge for that.
