"I was impressed with Tiffany Springs Senior Living Community. This is something you don't like to usually go into, but I'm actually looking forward to moving there. That's how I was impressed with the place. The entire facility was extremely nice, very clean, and very welcoming. There's artwork everywhere. It's got a colorful decor and it was just very nicely appointed. The representative that took us on the tour was very knowledgeable and very friendly. I liked her. She knew what she was doing and she showed us several apartments. I have a pet, so I was very interested in the ground apartment with facilities for pets, and that's what I ended up getting. I spoke to a couple of people who were in the dining room and asked them if they liked it there. They said they did, and they said the food was very good. They showed me the menu that they have available every day and the daily selections and it looks quite nice and has a nice variety. They have a craft room, a pool, a hot tub, and an exercise room. She said in the craft room, they do various things and they are always open to suggestions from people. They have transportation available to take you to doctor's appointments and so forth. Plus they have outings with groups and they go to the casinos or to a movie or dinner theater. They have all sorts of card rooms and game rooms. They have Friday night happy hour. There's just a lot there to do. They have a mini-clinic in the facility, which I thought was very nice. They have a beauty salon there, which I thought was very nice, too. They have about everything there that you need and it's close to things. It's close to Target and eating places. It seems like a nice area. It's almost like a luxury hotel, honestly. It really is very nice. They have therapy facilities as well."

"We chose Brookdale Overland Park. My mom was taken there after a hospital visit, and we just liked the care that she got there so much that she didn't want to leave, and she wanted to stay there. She chose it. I would rate them a 5 because they take such good care of her, and they listen to her. They're just very caring people there. They communicate well. She's the one that says all the good stuff about them. She loves the meals. She told me it was better than what I cooked. They have all kinds of activities. They have given her color books to work with. Right now, there are not a lot of things she can do because of the injuries that she did have, but when she's able to get up and do them again, there will be activities for her to do. The facilities are very clean. It is costly, but you do get what you pay for."

"My mother and my cousin were patients at Medicalodges. My mom was there twice for rehabilitation. I was very satisfied with their service. They will keep you inform. It was like a family facility. They're close to the family of the residents, and let them know how they're doing. This place is very good. They feed them three times a day, give them showers, clothed them. It's a good facility. They both went to different activities that they had like bingo, their hair and nails done, and they give allowance for whatever they needed for what's not in the cafeteria. "

"We're moving our aunt to the Healthcare Resort of Kansas. I liked it because it has an open-air feeling. The facility seems to be very neat and clean. They don't have a huge number of residents. They have a nurse onsite 24 hours. We just thought based on those recommendations, they have the things we were looking for, so we're gonna give it a try."

"My sister was in Ignite Medical Resorts for rehab. The overall experience was good. She loved the food, she loved the atmosphere, it just seemed like the right place for her. The accommodations were nice. It was kind of compact, but they were nice accommodations. It was not too large of a room. The staff was personable, professional, they did a good job. I ate only once, it was prepared by a chef, and it was tasty. It wasn't bland. She would talk about playing bingo and card games and things like that. She stayed there for about two months."

"I was impressed at the cleanliness of the facility and the effort to maintain the appearance of the facility. Decore was clean and crisp and tasteful. Staff were so helpful and willing to provide my needs when apparent and made the extra effort to ask if there was anything else I needed. Their care and attitude helped me gain a favorable stay and return home safely. The activities provided for the resident were varied and appealed to many tastes. I especially enjoyed bingo! The amenities offered were varied including snack runs each shift, drink runs whenever necessary and again, various activities for a myriad of residents. I would recommend this facility to anyone who is serious about gaining care and/or rehabilitation. As an aside, the rehabilitation program is stellar and the staff exemplary. Thank you Riverside for giving me my life back."

"My soon to be father-in-law currently resides in this facility, and the staff takes very good care of him. I am an RN, and my fiancé will soon graduate from medical school. We met as CNAs at an Alzheimers facility. By our standards, Shawnee Gardens is a very good facility, and we are very happy with the care he receives. He is given a choice of what to eat at meal time. The food is brought into the dining room and is kept warm in a portable buffet table. The units do not smell of urine, which was one of my concerns. We put a television in my FIL's room, and staff will turn it to channels we have requested. His behavior is monitored closely and concerns are communicated. The staff is very helpful and on top of things. They made transition from a rehab a smooth one. With the current Medicaid crisis in Kansas we were just grateful a nursing home took him in. We were exremely lucky he ended up here. Close to us, nice grounds in a nice neighborhood, and a former RN I spoke to said she loved working there. Place your loved one here and you can be assured they will be well taken care of. "

"I placed mom at Garden Terrace at Overland Park. They have a serious problem now with getting the proper drugs because they switched over to Omnicare. It's one of the few nursing homes that write down the activities on their monthly chart, and they have very good activities there. Her room is very good. The food comes and goes. It waned for a bit, but it's back to being better. Garden Terrace is very good for people who have a lot of dementia and Alzheimer's. My mom has borderline dementia and an Alzheimer's unit like that has more mental stimulation in their activities than you're going to see at a traditional nursing home (that's the only reason I put her there). Some of their services have decreased in the last year and I'm not happy about it."

"My dad has been in Parkway Health & Rehab since December. It's not good. They are doing some renovation in an attempt to make it more cosmetically appealing, but I don't care what the place looks like as long as they take care of my dad. For me, that's the biggest thing. The memory impaired are like children and require an extra level of patience and compassion, but we're not finding that to always be the case. The director of nursing and some members of the staff are excellent. I think they lack training in working with or knowing how to care for those with memory impairment. I think they look at them in the same light as they would a psychiatric patient, and I have a problem with that. There is not a lot of professionalism that I see as far as with the hands-on care of my dad."
