"This is my third experience having a loved one cared for at Brookdale, Great Bend, KS. Each and every time I have been more than pleased with the level of care, caring and overall standards of this care facility. The staff goes above and beyond every day, every hour, every moment to engage and love each and every one of their residents. They are ready with hugs whenever anyone needs one, including me! My mother, father and now my mother-in-law is/have been residents, each at different times in the course of 25 years. Each and every time the administrative staff have fully answered and offered options to each of my questions promptly and with a caring smile. The actual caregivers doing the "not so fun work at times," always have a smile on their face and are loving and kind to each resident. They are helpful to the family members with suggestions to make things easier on the resident. They are knowledgeable and seem to know how to handle each individual resident with different techniques that make their life easier. Each resident is treated with respect and it is evident that the staff genuinely care, and I'm a very good judge of character! The facility is a "happy" environment with amazing, fun activities for those who wish to participate. Their food preparation and meals are top of the line--it's like eating at a restaurant at every meal, including a delectable dessert served with a smiling face. Their facility is spotless at all times and the residents' apartments are kept very clean. Brookdale Great Bend decorates for every holiday and they have many celebrations for residents, family and friends to enjoy. Although it is never easy to move our loved ones from their life-long homes, Brookdale Great Bend does everything in their power to make the transition pleasant, as well as fully supporting the family. They are always there to lend an ear to those of us making the hard decisions for our loved ones. I have seen first hand my beloved mother thrive in the community (she has since passed away). Now my mother-in-law is gaining much needed weight, has made new friends and is no longer so lonely. I cannot say enough good things about this facility right here in our small town of Great Bend, Kansas. We are fortunate to have a facility with such high standards! I highly recommend Brookdale Great Bend."

"Flowers Place is excellent. My mom has only been there for a couple of days, and so far, so good. The staff members are very attentive to detail, very helpful, and comforting. At this point, we're just looking to see if she gets acclimated. It had a really family-like feel to it, it was homey, and it had a family sense of concern for the residents. It's also close by. They have a nice seating area, a TV, and comfortable rooms. It seems like they have good food, too. However, the visitations and guidelines are not great. It's a very nice facility, but a lot of their activities are paused. They normally have activities, but it is not the same level of interaction due to the gathering restrictions. It's expensive, but it seems like every other place is, so I think they're comparable."

"Parkwood Village was very clean and nice, but it was expensive. It was comfortable. The rooms were not big, but they were nice. "

"Our Mom was a patient at Woodhaven and we think that the love and care that they give their patients is amazing. They did everything they could to make her happy. I also loved that the employees communicated with us often about how she was doing. This was important to me since I lived out of state. "

"We chose Hilltop Manor because of the very friendly staff. My mom can even talk with another resident in Norwegian. The accommodations are very spacious, with lots of light, and a great view. The staff was helpful to Mom. They do housekeeping, laundry, they pass out the medicine, and they apply for refills. They serve three meals and two snacks a day. They have a van to take the residents to doctors' appointments."
