Robyn 2019-06-18 My husband is in Brookdale Wornall Place. They're good about listening, changing things around, and calling me if they see things I need to know about. He was in a one-bedroom and I had to transfer him down to a studio because of maneuverability. He's also a fall risk. They will go in his apartment every couple of hours to check on him and make sure he is OK. They assist him and escort him down to his meals. He's starting to get more involved in the community activities. He likes the breakfast there. He does Be Fit and wheelchair exercises. They have arts and crafts, painting, pool table, swimming pool, Bingo, movies, pub, and entertainment. They have a monthly newsletter that lists the activities for the day. They have shopping, bus tours, bible study, exercise room, library, and farmer's market that comes in. The independent living facility is in the same building as assisted living, and they get to do some of the same things as the assisted living. I'm happy with everybody there. It's a beautiful facility. They would do pureed food if needed. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

RMCMDK 2020-09-18 The common facilities are generally nice. The individual apartments which looked nice several years ago, now have discolored and peeling vinyl flooring, deteriorating particle board cabinets, sinks, countertops and fixtures that need replacing. Despite getting in the queue (long before the Covid lockdown) to replace items such as peeling floor tiles, water soaked particle board cabinets and floor molding, nothing was ever done. The biggest negative is by far the truly awful food, which I have eaten several times as a guest before lockdown. They've changed chefs several times and the quality of the food declines dramatically with each new chef. My guess is that Corporate is cutting costs at the residents' expense, esp with a captive audience during Covid. It's not just a bad chef and unappetizing menus, it's low quality ingredients to start with (e.g., hunks of unsliced meat that are 80% fat and gristle and corn on the cob that is livestock feed quality). The quality of the food has seen a sharp decline in the past two years, and since Covid it is often inedible. I find it unconscionable that management has allowed the food quality to slip to such a low level, especially given the $$$thousands each month that the residents pay. I have volunteered at food kitchens for the homeless where the quality of ingredients and the meals were superior. We started noticing weight loss during video calls since Covid, so are now having food delivered to make sure they have a few decent meals to eat. While depression is a common side effect of Covid isolation, the inability to look forward to a decent meal has made that even worse. They have even missed delivering meals that were ordered and our family has had to scramble to have outside food delivered. I worry for residents that may not have anyone on the outside checking on their well being. Brookdale is clearly cutting costs that hurt the residents versus the corporate executives. Many of the employees seems very caring. Having worked for a large corporation, I'd like to give the local management team the benefit of the doubt by assuming that they are taking the fall for budget cuts dictated by Corporate, while the executives likely remain fat and happy. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Teresa 2020-04-27 My husband was not impressed with Brookdale Wornall Place at all. They had an apartment closed off because of bedbugs. The living space, the kitchen, and the refrigerator were tiny. We would never go there. Everything was old and dated. I visited this facility

T.H. 2020-04-07 Brookdale Wornall Place was very clean, they had very nice staff, we met several of the residents there, they were very lively, and seemed to be very happy. The facilities were excellent, they had a swimming pool, an indoor pool, a hot tub, an exercise room, and they had lots of activities. However, it seemed to be more expensive than the others. I visited this facility

Gayle 2019-03-19 Brookdale Wornall Place was lovely. I liked the people who I met there. However, it was so far out. Nevertheless, if I am to consider some place again, I would give it a serious thought. One of the things that I really like about their living quarters was that they have kitchenettes. They have small fireplaces and walk-in closets. The room was more up-to-date than where I am now. I talked to a couple of people who live there and they seemed to be happy. They were telling me about some of the activities. I probably could fit in there really good. The staff members were very accommodating. It seemed like a nice place. They were great. I saw their menu and their dining room area and it looked great. The place was huge and gorgeous. They had a pool, too; I was very impressed. The price was a little higher, but I really liked it. I visited this facility

Elaine 2018-01-12 Brookdale Wornall Place is mostly apartments. The apartments were a little on the small side for my husband and myself. The community wasn't as nice as the other two. However, they have a pub and card room, an all-day dining area, a general store, 24-hour emergency response, and an all-faith chapel. They have housekeeping services, therapy services, and underground parking. The utilities are included in the price of the rent. Their staff is available around the clock. The staff members were very nice. They know people by their names. The staff member who accommodated me was very knowledgeable. We had dinner with them and it was very good. The food was excellent.

pc11 2017-03-03 The food has been getting worse. Concierge service is not efficient. My mother has a standing order for laundry service and no one came to do it. She complained to the "concierge" service twice and still no one has come or apologized. The meals are now worse than previously. The apartments are great, staff mostly helpful but very expensive for poor food quality and non concierge service. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

John107636450 2015-05-26 The staff was very helpful, explained everything, took us around, and showed us the rooms. They have 1-bedroom rooms or studio type rooms which was very nice. They have a nice dining room, and the community was very nice too. Brookdale Wornall seemed to have a lot of things going on, like some residents were playing cards. It was a nice place, and it is close to where she is living. It’s one that we would consider. I visited this facility

Caring83912950 2014-12-30 When we walked in Brookdale, we didn't have a good vibes. We didn't like it. It just wasn't cozy. It felt like a hotel. The representative there that we met with wasn't that interested because at that time we were there, there was no apartment for her to move into. So, he wasn't really pushing for a sale. He didn't call or follow through with us until two or three months later when they finally had an apartment available. I wasn't impressed. However, I liked that they had a lot of planned activities for the residents. If you would like to be busy, you could be busy. I thought the guy just kind of turned us all off because he didn't have anything to sell that day, and he was distracted. I visited this facility

Jeannette5 2014-11-15 Grand Court was very, very nice. I don't have any complaints about it except I don't think we can afford it. They had a lot of activities. The meal looked pretty elegant. It was just a nice, clean place. I visited this facility

5 4 1

Caring69880350 2014-04-29 I liked the layout of Grand Court and the facilities and the newness of it, since they've been under renovation, but the cost of it is a little out of my range. It's like $3495, and I'm paying $2000 where I am right now. I like the apartment because it is roomy, and I was surprised it had a full kitchen, a refrigerator, and a stove. It's like a house, where you have a thermostat that you control heating the air from one switch instead of like where I'm at now, we have an older furnace and heater, and you activate either one and leave the other. They have transportation to your doctor's appointments, but they only have it for so many hours and 10 miles from the complex. I visited this facility

Chelsea4 2013-09-24 I liked Grand Court. They were preparing for a party when I was there and they looked very excited. They staff was very nice. During our tour, they stopped to converse with the residents whom they knew by name. I liked their rooms. They were spacious enough. I visited this facility
