Glennon Place Apartments

While in Kansas City looking for possible assisted living facilities for our aunt, we stopped in on the spur of the moment to see Glennon Place Apartments. We liked its proximity to many of the things our aunt likes in the area, such as the eateries, cultural events and her friends and family in the area. The outside looked really well-kept. We especially liked the park-like atmosphere of the grounds. Our aunt loves to be outdoors and tend the garden, so she would really appreciate this. The main foyer had a lovely receiving area, reminiscent of a quaint country home. The communal areas all had interesting activities occurring, from reading to games and resident interactions. It was clear that the residents enjoy living here. The living suites were all a nice size and did not seem cramped. They were also beautifully decorated. We could see that our aunt would be comfortable in any one of them. Each unit had individually controlled temperatures. The kitchens all had ample counter space and appliances. The fitness center included yoga and aerobics exercise classes. The equipment is available throughout the day and they also offer instruction on DVD. Residents can also safely navigate the lovely garden pathways and courtyards on the grounds. Events and outings scheduled include anything imaginable - from art museums, the library, which our aunt particularly enjoys, to local films and crafts, fine dining and theater. They also host monthly birthday parties for residents at the facility which they encourage friends and family to attend. The dining areas had nice options. From more intimate to communal dining, resident can choose whatever they like - in addition to hosting guests in their own spaces. The food choices looked nutritious and delicious, as well as the regular snacks - offered continually. This was a lovely facility with caring and attentive staff. All of the resident's needs appear to be met easily and efficiently, in a friendly and caring manner.
