Novel Place Blue Springs

I lived in Novel Place Blue Springs last year for eight months because I had to go through surgeries and stuff and I needed some help, like cooking and cleaning. During the time that I was there, it was very lively. I always found somebody out doing something. The seniors were pretty active, even the older ones. I could pay to live there, but I live on a budget and they hiked up the rent to $100. Anyway, I was only there for a short period of time. It was a nice place. I recommend it to anyone. It's spacious and clean. They had two meals a day. On weekends, they had a buffet. They had games, a shuttle, and outings for the residents to keep them busy. For the money, it was well worth it. I'm active. So to me, that place was perfect. If you are fairly in decent health, you can get around, and drive, that's a great place to live. It's independent living but they had housekeeping, a shuttle, and a driver to and from your doctor's appointments. They're very good about if you call and put an order for something, usually that day or the next day, they fix it. They also have cards, yoga, exercise classes, arts and crafts, and a gym.

We chose Novel Place Blue Springs for my mother-in-law because of the location of the property, as well as the overall cost and the amenities offered. They've all been very helpful. They do have a gym. They also offer most meals seven days a week. They have transportation, and they have lots of activities. The location is right in the middle of everything. There's grocery shopping and restaurants right there. There's a hospital right up the street. They're having trouble with their hot water right now, but they're working to get it fixed.

So far, Novel Place Blue Springs has been a very nice place. The food here is very good. I would highly recommend them. You have your own washer-dryer and dishwasher. They keep everything clean and they provide meals (so I don't have to do the cooking). The staff is very nice and very accommodating. They're just top-notch. The dining area is very nice. We have a choice that we mark on the menu once a week. Sometimes we often forget what we ordered, but they don't. They have it on a schedule.

Novel Place Blue Springs was clean. The staff was friendly. The residents seemed very happy. The apartments were large. The amenities were good. They provide meals. They have a library. They have a fitness room. They have transportation to outings or appointments. They furnish laundry equipment in the apartment. I toured around lunchtime, and it smelled good when I went in there. I saw the menu of the day and it looked very, very good. I thought Novel Place Blue Springs would be a good fit for my sister.

We thought Novel Place Blue Springs was very clean, and it just seemed like it had a good feeling when we walked in. It seemed like a very caring place. The staff who gave us the tour was very knowledgeable, very courteous, and took the time in showing us all the facilities and features. So we were very impressed with it. They had a library, a video room, or a movie room, and they had a balcony for the patients, which is very important for my sister. They also had a separate reading room that was all screened, so you could go in there and read without worrying about the bugs and you're still being given the outdoor air and experience.

Novel Place Blue Springs is a beautiful place. It's brand new, it's beautiful, the prices are affordable, and the amenities are great. It looks like a brand new hotel. It's very modern and updated and has all the amenities you would need for one price. It has everything I need. They allow pets and it's just a one-time cost for the pets. So that's nice too. It wasn't like that at all places. Everybody is wonderful. And their paperwork is in order that they give you. They give you a couple of folders and they break everything down. You can put an apartment on hold for 60 days, you just put in $500, and if you change your mind, they give it back. If you go forward, that $500 goes toward your first month's rent. This was in a good area. The place is just geared towards everything you would need if you're 55 or older and you have mainly mobility problems, and the meals and stuff looked wonderful there, cause I went there twice to visit. They offer meals, you get a Continental breakfast and it was huge. And that's like from 8:30 to 10:30. And then they have dinner every day and it's two specials. But if you don't like what's on the special, they have a regular menu you can pick from. They give you a monthly calendar. Everyone has a cubbyhole, so you know what the meals are and you get to pick stuff out. So you just come down during that time and you give them your name and they serve you your meal. And if you want to take it back to your room you could, if you want your meal delivered to you, there's a $2 extra charge. So the food, with the two meals looks like plenty of food, that's Monday through Friday, and then on Saturday, they have lunch and Sunday they have brunch. And even with the continental breakfast, there's all kinds of fruit out there and biscuits and bagels, and they have scrambled eggs and potatoes and all kinds of juices and coffee and milk. There's just so much food in the morning, you can take a banana or apple with you or something like that, some fresh fruit, and other things. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable.
