Chapters Living

Over all a good facility. Very caring staff. Small facility which I like. Great food!!!!! Very nice set up. The manager has worked very hard to address all issues as they have come up. I would live here!!!!!!

I toured this community for care for gather. I notice that all of the residents were sleeping at the time. I like the facility. The community is not what we are looking for and we do recommend that families come and take a tour and see if this would be a place for a family member.

I had a pretty decent tour of this community. There was construction going on at the moment. So the community was not the best looking at the time, but everything else looked nice. The staff was kind to my family, and myself. It was a good experience.

We liked this community. We did notice a small odor. The staff was friendly and caring. It was more than what we could afford but really liked it. They had a nice menu of food choices. We would recommend that families tour this community.a family member.

When I walked in this facility I was not very impressed at all. It was a little too dark for me. The residents were all quiet and looked somewhat uncomfortable. I felt like this would not be the best choice for our loved one. The staff did show us around, but it just was not the place for me.

My Mother has only been there seven weeks. She is getting use to it. She has a very nice room with all of her own things. The activies she has not participated in, she is having trouble with balance and walks with a walker. she has maculate degeneration on the eyes. We moved her here so she would have 24/7 care and she does have that some of it better than others. The nights are the worst for her.

I felt that the continuous turn over with workers, showed that they either weren't getting the quality of workers they needed because they didnt pay them enough, or they didn't have sufficient training to get them to stay. The care from the workers that had been there a while was good, they really cared. The bathing, feeding, and extra areas of attention were not so good.

I felt the Gladstone facility was too dark as my Mother and Aunt have low vision. I was also looking for a place where they could have their own living room and that did not seem to be available. I was very concerned that all of the rooms had Bath Tubs and my Mother or Aunt cannot manuever in and out of a bathtub. My Mom couldn't even with assistance. I felt the outside area was not inviting. However the Platte City facility outside area was very nice and only one level. If there had been rooms with private living rooms, and a walk in shower, I may have considered it. It was very nice. Even saw an old friend there who likes living there. I like the fact that they check up on the person if they don't make it to meals.

Compared to other communities, the cost was okay. You have to stay on top of them to make sure your loved one gets what they need. The food looks okay. The laundry has been a bit of an issue. My loved one has worn other people’s clothes. They don’t seem to have their stuff together with the meds.

It was more expensive and seemed to be colder. It was really nice looking but I don't think they would be able to give my brother the attention that he needs because it's so bit. The other thing is that the expense is too much. My brother is young and he wouldn't be able to stay at Sunrise for more than a couple of years, if that.

Facility was OK. Office and staff area did not look organized. Don't think it is what we want.

Harbor House was just not our style. To us it felt more like a boarding house rather than a managed care facility.

We were extremely happy in the beginning and now we are suspecting things are not up to par. The facility is beautiful but starting to question the care. Laundry is piled up, room smells like urine and old feces. It appears to me they want to medicate the ones that have their minds and wants everyone completely sedated.

Wiltshire looked good to me but once we got in the care is very below average. If somebody needs a lot of care this is not the place to go. The food is uneditable. But it's mostly the care is lacking if someone needs help with diabetes or other serious ailments.

There was a lot of employee turnover. We felt that our loved one wasn’t getting the care she needed. Part of that was her - when they asked if she needed anything, she would say no, and then they would just leave. So she needed more attention, and employee turnover prevented that.

My mother was in this facility pre Covid and we couldn't have been happier with her care. But since the pandemic ended the staff turnover has left the care unacceptable for our family. Our mother was left in a wet bed so often we had to change her mattress and when we moved her the sheets smelled of urine and there was a dirty diaper under her bed. There is no art or music therapy and the new staff try hard but are in need of training on working with those suffering from dementia. We tried to get a care plan for our mother for over a month with no success.

The director of marketing was brand new, it was only her second day on the job when she met with us. We told her that my loved one had dementia and that her Alzheimer's had gotten to the point where I could not take care of her. She assured us that they would take of her and that there were activities to do. On day 5, she called us and said that we needed to find mom a different place to live and that they could not deal with Alzheimer's. They gave us the impression that they were more than willing to care for her but we were very disappointed in the whole experience. It may work for some, but not for others.

It was a terrible experience. My loved one was not well taken care of at all. He was only there for eight days, and four of those days he did not receive his medications. They had lots of good activities that went on, but they didn't make sure that my loved one was included. The cost was the most reasonable of any place that I looked at; however, you get what you pay for.

Look at the reviews and watch the decline over time. My Mom was there for almost 4 years. We had a good experience at first, but staff turnover was depressing. I don’t think I would choose this place today, although COVID impairs my objectivity. My experience with the director was not positive, in contrast to earlier directors. Families should be aware that the contract requires payment for 15 days beyond death. This policy is exploitative IMO. If they require more money, raise the rate, don’t charge room and board to dead people.
