19 Nursing Homes Near Olathe, KS
Living in Olathe offers seniors a quiet suburban lifestyle with a reasonable cost of living and a location that’s just 30 minutes from the arts and culture of nearby Kansas City. With a population exceeding 140,000 people, Olathe’s percentage of adult residents aged 65 and up is 11%. Seniors can choose from a wide array of physicians in Olathe, with 365 doctors per 100,000 residents, which is 155 more than the national average of physicians per capita. The Olathe Medical Center is one of the largest hospital campuses in the Midwest.
Nursing home costs for seniors in Olathe are somewhat less expensive than the US average costs for a semiprivate room, $6,844 and $7,756, respectively. In comparison, a private room in an Olathe nursing home averages $7,452 a month, while the pricier US average is $8,821.
Nursing homes become costly because they provide residents with 24-hour supervision, medical and personal care and ongoing monitoring of their needs when seniors can no longer live at home. The staff provides nursing care and various types of occupational and physical therapy. For seniors who don’t require the full-time care that nursing homes provide, assisted living or home health care arrangements may be a preferable alternative until a need for transitioning to a nursing home becomes imminent.

My mom has moved into Good Samaritan Society – Olathe. We chose them for my mother for several reasons. One was the quality of care there was highly reviewed and rated by others who’ve been there. They’re a faith-based institution that provides compassionate care. That’s important. It’s a nice facility, it’s cheerful, and one that feels welcoming. The staff is very welcoming.
I liked best the quality of care, and the facility is very nice and welcoming. They have rehabilitation therapy rooms, gym, library, and dining. It’s a nice facility. It’s just a little older, maybe, but it’s well-maintained. It’s clean. It’s a close to a hospital. It’s not too far from me and my brothers. So, it’s convenient to a lot of services, particularly medical services.

We chose Evergreen Community of Johnson County (Johnson County Nursing Center) because it has a really high rating, and someone from our community recommended them. They take the residents on road trips or to restaurants three times a month. They also do bingo like six times a week, and they earn bingo bucks that they can use for shopping once a month in their little store that they have set up there. From 8:00 to 4:00, they have different activities going on, like singing, games, and stuff like that all day. They have a quick response time when you press the buzzer. It seems like a family community there. I think the food is good,and my parents like it. In their previous community, mom couldnt choose a hash brown because theyre always fried too much but here its soft and it has a much better variety of food too. The staff seems very happy, pleasant, and friendly. There was one who visits my parents several times a day during the week. Its also pet-friendly and theres a cat that lives in the community for the residents. The place is built in a circle, and in the middle of that circle they have barbecue grill, tables, and chairs where the family can come and sit out and grill with them or sit around. Theres a pond with ducks and different things. Im happy with all of it, and my parents seem to be happy there. Its an older building but it seems safe and secure.

I have chosen Azria Health Olathe. So far, it’s great. They call me all the time regarding everything. They constantly keep in contact. My dad has been a resident for less than a month now. He has 24-hour care. They have a deaf community, which means hearing impaired, and that’s why I chose it because my dad is deaf. The staff is great.
The room is more of a hospital type. My dad has a roommate. They have activities and they asked me what kind of activities he is interested in doing so that they could meet his needs. They also asked me questions, they did a survey thing, as far as if I would allow him to go outside on his own and things like that, which I appreciated. I was impressed with the questions that they asked me and the things that they would have available. We’re paying private right now.

Our father was at this facility in 2006 when he passed. The rooms were spacious back then. We placed our mother here on Sept. 18th, 2021after she said it was time to go to a nursing home. We trusted Villa St. Francis with our beautiful mother. The cost of her "Box" was 7650.00 for one month. She had no room for her belongings, etc. The COO said that is the minimal size allowed. Her roommate’s space was bigger and had "junk" spread out everywhere. Her roommate had 5 visitors, 2 which were unmasked and began cough a few days later. We told them that her cough sounded bad, yet all they did was take temperatures. A few days later our mother started coughing and once again they just took temperatures. No testing for covid. They said they would give her cough syrup???? Not long after, mom came down with fever and they finally tested her after insistence from us. Test came back positive. Unfortunately, our beautiful mother passed from Covid from their lack of following covid protocols. She was in Villa St. Francis less than 3,5 weeks. The CEO has contacted us and said they never give refunds which we had ask for. That was his biggest concern. He told me that the staff took wonderful care of our mother which is not the truth. She was vaccinated and was waiting on booster which we continued to ask them about. They then said she died of sepsis on death certificate, which has been amended to the truth. Mom died of air hunger as they tried to give her a crushed up hydrocodone in pudding for pain???? No morphine, etc for her pain, yet they have it on sight because they are also a hospice facility, The NPR told us she only works during the week so I guess if you die on the weekend you are out of luck. I could go on and on, but please do your research before placing a loved one in a nursing home. Mom was a strong woman of faith and member of POP parish for over 45 years and yet was let down by the Catholic facility.

COULD BE THE MOST INCOMPETENT NURSING FACILITY IN THE STATE OF KS! Do not choose this facility and beware that they will tell you anything to get the patient thru the door. Once the patient is there, they have NO intention of properly preparing the staff or in doing what is in the best interest of the patient. Our stay lasted about 36 hours and ended with a traumatic brain injured patient being arrested, handcuffed and taken to the ER. The ER doctors were completely confused as to why the patient had been manhandled instead of kindly and respectfully redirected. The staff at Pinnacle are completely inept and the administrative staff is obtuse! Unfortunate that I ever accepted a second phone call from this facility. Take my advice and do not choose Pinnacle Ridge!

My dad was a resident of The Healthcare Resort of Olathe. If there was a low score of zero, that’s what I would give them. It was a horrible experience. They need to improve on cleanliness, responsiveness, and just overall level of care.
My dad had a situation where he needed help. He couldn’t get up to go to the bathroom, and they weren’t checking on him in the middle of the night. He would sit in soiled pants for hours. They would not bring him breakfast until almost 10:00 in the morning sometimes; and there were times at 2:30 in the afternoon where I was having to go search for where his lunch was. The rooms were dark and drab.

While the front of the house staff is very caring, the regular lockdowns of residents due to even the most limited exposure to staff that test positive for Covid is cause for concern.
Since the first part of August, my mother has been forced to go without any sort of visits other than compassionate care, have meals in her room (as opposed to the dining room), and no activities with other residents more often than not. This is due to the fact that every few weeks some employee manages to test positive for Covid – not because they are sick, but because of the mandatory testing that is virtually nonstop of staff- whether they have any symptoms or not. And each test means the entire care center goes into lockdown for two more weeks- regardless of how they test and whether or not they had any contact with the Covid positive individual.
Lakeview Village obviously has but one concern – to keep people alive. There is no concern for the quality of life of residents. Words cannot describe the level of frustration and anger I have for this lack of caring.
These people are residents- not inmates!

Dirty comes to mind as I would walk a cross a floor and you could hear my shoes "stick" to the floor. Rooms were rarely cleaned and I use the word "clean" loosely. Most of the staff were pleasant, but many would "avoid" visitors. I do not believe my relative was ever involved in any activities outside his occasional therapy sessions. No amenities to my knowledge. Communication was good for the 1st few days, then it was like radio silence. The case manager presented as someone who cared and wanted the best for our loved one, but her actions indicated she did care. Getting our loved one moved from this facility took much longer than necessary due to the case manager dragging her feet through the process. 2 weeks at a different rehab and our loved one improved in less than 2 weeks. My advice, visit any care facility before you trust them with your loved one.

My parents were at rehab at Stratford Commons. My dad needed quite a bit of care so I stayed in a cot there every night to make sure he got what he needed. The care wasn’t good and they even forget to order his good. One day they even forgot all three times. I had to go down only to be told the kitchen is closed. The building itself and the rooms were clean and very nice. It’s a newer building, but there was a few staff. My dad soiled his pants and it took them an hour to get in there, and it took them about another two hours to get my dad cleaned up. My mom even called me crying one day. 90% of the time I would give them 15 or 20 minutes, and dad would have to go to the bathroom and he couldn’t hold it in any longer so I would go out and try to find someone, and then it still would take them another 10 to 30 minutes to get in there. They had some activities. My dad had no teeth and lots of times when they cooked hash browns they’d be too hard so he couldn’t chew them. Also, it was the same food all the time. I was very upset and I wouldn’t recommend the place.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Olathe, KS
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
