Memory Care Communities in Lees Summit, MO

"The Groves seems more like a family place. My visit there was fine. It was good. It was clean. I'm hoping I don't have to go because I can't afford it. It's a lot of money to go there. The place is not modern, and it could use some remodeling. I tried their food and it's pretty good."

"The staff here seems genuinely caring, and respectful. As I walked through the facility I noticed it was very clean, and the residents were being entertained with an activity. My friend would definitely enjoy being kept busy as she is still mildly high functioning. Top place on my list!"

"We liked that The Madison Senior Living was available and easy to tour. There was nobody there and we were able to pick out an apartment we liked. It was pretty convenient. The apartment was very nice and luxurious, and there was a lot of space for my dad to move around in his wheelchair, which was very convenient. I didn't get to meet a lot of their staff, just the sales staff that we've been working with for the most part. They were extremely nice and helpful, and the sales person went out of his way to make things work for my dad. There were lots of conditions that he had to adjust to; he went above and beyond. It's brand new and got a lot of nice amenities."

"The Ashton on the Plaza was very nice. The location is great because it's in the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri. The inside of the building is pretty new. It's made for assisted living really. The only thing about it is that the cost is really pretty high and I didn't feel that my friend would be able to afford that. It was a great place. The food was wonderful. The staff that I met was nice. The rooms were very nice. They were roomy enough. It was very attractive. They were different as far as the floor plan was concerned. They had one- and two-bedrooms. One of the things that I think was really good is that they invited us to come out for a visit, even if my friend was in the hospital. As a friend, I could come out and look and see the place so I could be able to tell her my experience. They also offered and came to pick me up to take me there and bring me back home. I had lunch with them, that's why I know that the food was good. The dining area was very nice. It was not as large, but certainly large enough to comfortably seat all of the residents that they would have."

"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."

"I just recommended Brookdale Overland Park to someone that I met today. They're wonderful; they're very good. My dad was there for two-and-a-half weeks. It was clean and caring. The physical therapy and occupational therapy people were fantastic with my dad. The food was good too. My dad was happy with it."

"Trustwell Living of Overland Park was all locked down, even the assisted living part was locked down. It was freshly painted and fresh new furniture, and just had a nice vibe about it. I had a great time there. The admissions director, whatever her title is, was excellent. She even texted me later and gave me her cell phone number if I had any more questions about anything. She listened well and was compassionate and resourceful. The tour was good. The exterior was fine, and the interior was nice, too. Everybody that I met was very friendly. They had a lot of long-term employees who had been there for years, and I appreciated that. They had their own nursing staff. They don't use contract CNAs from an agency."

"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."

"Beautiful building with caring professionals right next to my home! I feel so blessed to have stumbled across Morningside Place! "

"My mother moved into Heritage of Overland Park. She had a friend there, and that's where she wanted to go. She moved in today. Heritage was my favorite of the places I visited. It's excellent. The rooms are nice. They've got a bunch of different activities. The owner is very involved. I just like the way he runs it. It's just nice, clean, and has a good compassionate staff."

"I will be moving into Garden Villas of Lenexa. They're really wonderful. They're very caring, kind, and thorough. It's beautiful and they seemed to have their act together. They were more affordable than a lot of the other places. I was in a wheelchair and they took me around and showed me everything. They took a lot of time with me. They even sent their director of nurses out to my house to talk to me about my needs and what they can do to meet my needs. I've just been very impressed with them. I will have an apartment and it's very beautiful. It's very clean, and there's absolutely no odor. They must really stay on top of that. They have a lot to offer. They have a beauty salon, an indoor swimming pool, and an ice cream parlor. It's really a nice place. They provide three meals with about ten choices in each meal."

"Brookdale College Square looked very clean and the woman who gave me the tour was just a very nice person. Most of the residents were in a common room having some entertainment. It seemed like a really good place, but I thought the rooms were tiny. She told me the rooms were small because they don't want their residents spending time in their rooms. They want them out with the other people."

"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."

"I guess the question should be, what can't I say about the Oxford Grand. My wife's aunt came here in June of 2018. She knew some of staff from a previous assisted living facility she had been in and they were as excited to see her as she was them. The staff included our family in their activities when ever we where their visiting her. The activities were varied and engaging, meant to keep the residents active and happy. She always had a smile on her face and always treated the staff with respect and they loved her for it. ( That goes a long way in this industry) She went into Hospice at the Oxford in April of 2019 when her cancer was declared terminal. The staff bent over backward to take care of her. It was challenging to watch her deteriorate and I often saw the staff come out of her room with tears in their eyes. I heartily endorse the Oxford Grand. The residents are the #1 priority and it shows. There is some turn over in the staff but that is the nature of the industry. It is not their fault. When that happens I have seen the administration staff helping out in the kitchen while the CNA's take care of the residents. During snow storms, the staff stays at the Oxford to take care of the patients and cover the short staff from others being told to stay home. Respect the staff and they will respect you. Smile at them and treat them as family, because they become part of your larger family. We love the Oxford Grand."
