Memory Care Communities in Olathe, KS

"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."

"It looks very nice and very attractive. It smells great when you walk in the door. It smells like freshly baked bread. The staff is friendly. A nurse called me several times regarding mom's medication issues, but that's not the facility's problem. Mom has two little rooms and it's very nice. It's enough for her. The bathrooms are accommodating. There's periodically contact with the doctor."

"After spinal surgery and a stroke, my mother went to Brookdale Overland Park for a month of intensive rehabilitation. Her experience was terrific. The nurses, therapists, and doctors on staff were thorough, professional, compassionate, and encouraging. They took the time to get to know her, and encouraged her in a safe and realistic way. She emerged after one month, competent and confident, and ready to return to independent living. In addition, the facility provided excellent activities and self care services like happy hour, football game viewing parties, and a hair salon, making her time there not just productive but also enjoyable. Finally, the administrative and support staff provided me with the information I needed with regard to finances and continuing care upon discharge from the facility. Overall, I would give Brookdale Overland Park a double thumbs up. We loved everything about it!"

"My relative will move into Trustwell Living of Overland Park. The woman who called me, whose name was Beth, was like a breath of fresh air. The whole place is clean, and it doesn't smell bad. It's awesome. They serve three meals a day. They have a patio and a safe walking path for your loved one to go out and walk on."

"We toured Sunrise of Leawood and got some information. The person who assisted us was very helpful and very friendly. The facilities looked very nice. So, we got a good impression of the place."

"We recently made the decision to move our loved one into Brookdale, and it has been an incredibly positive experience. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were met with warmth and compassion from every member of the team. The sales leader, Allison, was particularly outstanding. From our first interaction, she was patient, understanding, and informative. She took the time to answer all our questions and put our minds at ease during what could have been a very stressful time. Her deep knowledge of memory care and her genuine passion for helping families shone through in every conversation. We never felt rushed or pressured; instead, we felt supported and empowered to make the best decision for our loved one. The memory care program at Brookdale is exceptional. The specialized activities and therapies have made a significant difference in our loved one's quality of life. The staff is trained to handle the unique challenges that come with memory care, and they do so with a level of kindness and professionalism that is truly remarkable. The environment is safe, nurturing, and designed to cater to the needs of residents with memory impairments. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our choice. Brookdale has provided our family with peace of mind, knowing that our loved one is in the best possible hands. We highly recommend this community to anyone looking for compassionate and specialized memory care."

"My mother was a resident of Morningside Place for 4 ½ years. When I would visit, she would always be clean, comfortably dressed, happy and active, either walking the halls with a friend, enjoying the sun in the courtyard, playing a game or attending one of many planned events. The leadership is committed to engaging the families in facility events and activities and providing information on dementia-related educational opportunities. All of this helps us to better understand what is happening with our family member as dementia overtakes them and how best to engage with them in order to make our final years together as happy and loving as possible. The leadership also holds monthly zoom meetings with directors and family members to help keep families up-to-date on changes in personnel and on upcoming events and allow us time to ask questions and get to know the people who are caring for our loved ones. Morningside personnel deserve an A++ from our family for providing Mom with a wonderful, happy place to live out her last years."

"My mother has moved into Brookdale Leawood State Line. It's nicely furnished and it's homey, but yet it's been updated and clean. I like all the staff very much. So far, everybody's been friendly and helpful."

"I went to The Madison Senior Living. It's very open. I didn't see a lot of diversity in the community, but the staff was nice. The patients that were walking around were pretty friendly. The dining area was nice. It was open and bright with a lot of windows, but I didn't try the food. The staff who gave the tour was nice. He answered all my questions and answered things that I didn't think I needed answers to."

"We are on the waiting list for Mission Chateau. We chose them because the people we met and talked to, including the person who showed us around and gave us the tour was spectacular, and that was a very important reason. And the second major reason was the financial model that was used, there was no large buy-in upfront. The person who toured us was friendly, professional, thorough, and a good listener. The place had the things we were looking for. I can't do much physically anymore except swim, and it does have a swimming facility. There are all sorts of activities, clubs, and gatherings that we can choose to get involved in if we want to."

"Although my mother was there for just a short time, I can’t say enough positive things about this assisted living facility. They are warm and welcoming. The staff is truly there to meet the needs of the clients. My mother truly enjoyed visiting with all the staff that would come in to see her. I just wish that she could’ve stayed longer!"

"My wife is at The Village at Mission Memory Care. Everything is excellent there so far. The services seem to be OK. They're friendly, helpful, and seem to care. They do a good job. She's only been there three weeks, so I'm not familiar with everything, but one day I was there, and they had two ladies come in who played violins. Last Saturday, they had a block party. They had a bounce house for little kids, and they had face painting and fake tattoos for kids. They had hot dogs, music, hamburgers, and cold drinks, and it was quite a turnout because we had our grandkids. It was quite an event. It was really nice. The dining area is nice. It's the one I picked, and I went to a lot of facilities, anywhere from six to eight. I see lots of different activities and people coming in. Value for money is good."

"After researching and visiting several assisted living/memory care facilities, we moved my mother with Alzheimer's to Trustwell Living Mission Springs nearly 9 months ago. We have been very pleased. As Mom's condition has changed, it has been easy to work with both executive and direct care staff to make changes in her care plan. We visit frequently and have never arrived to find anything concerning. The apartment is very adequate with enough space and privacy. The common areas are kept very clean and orderly. Though there have been some staff transitions, there are always some activities during the day. Mom is very comfortable with her care staff, and they relate to her very well. The community is not enormous, and this has been a benefit. The surroundings are open and floor plan simple. Even though Mom is often confused, she has been able to navigate her surroundings without too much difficulty. Mostly, we just appreciate the staff. They are ever present and communication is very good."

"My Mom spent her last 10 months at Carroll Park. While the facility is older with smaller double rooms, the staff makes it special. The staff does not sit around looking at their cell phones (a significant problem I had seen at other facilities), and were very responsive and compassionate to the residents. The family ownership and dedicated staff created a more comfortable and homelike feeling. They reached out and made my Mom feel loved and special. It was as good of a stay as could be hoped for under not good circumstances."
