Shirkey Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

2020

As a relative of a former resident who passed away: Overall Shirkey’s looks like a nice place. It’s clean and has a great Activity Director who decorates for all the holidays. The rooms are nice. However, the nurses are a nightmare to work with and don’t honor the wishes of the resident or family members. They don’t answer the phone and spend considerable time outside smoking with the CNA’s. No one washes their hands when entering rooms or leaving. My relative chose to go to Shirkey’s

I had grandparents at Shirkeys in the early 90s and a father in Shirkeys today. Times have changed for the better for sure in nursing homes in general and at Shirkeys. After looking at reviews and living in KCMO I wanted Dad close so I went to these highly rated homes and often found the only thing nice was the decor. The staffing was often 2 aides for 60 patients the staff was unhelpful & stopping to talk to the patients they said noone ever worked there long I felt hopeless. My Dad had friends from Richmond& insisted on checking out Shirkeys. Now Dad calls Shirkeys home he loves the staff, many have been there many years, they are always helpful and respectful to my family and friends who visit,they call you when they find the smallest bruise. No place is perfect but as families realizing that nursing homes will never give care good enough to please us doesn't mean it's not good care. My Dad is clean, happy and feels safe and in the end that makes Shirkeys worth the drive.

My Uncle has been living at this facility for a year this month and from all my interactions with this nursing home his care is quite good. He is happy and content with residing at the facility he has his own room and is free to ride his hooveround whereever he wants and there's a nice patio he can go outside and sit. He has made friends with a lot of the other residents and is very happy living there. Compared to other nursing homes in the area this one tops them all.
