Midwest Health

This community is the best to be in. They have a lot of activities like excising, devotionals and bible readings. We also have crafts and games. They keep us busy all the time. the staff are great here to me and all the residents.

We chose it because of the newness, cleanliness, and convenient location for family. The staff members really took my mom under their wing and made her feel comfortable here. It is a very close knit group, everyone sits together and they do not stay in their rooms. They do offer a lot of activities and have a calendar and they have things on it everyday. She is really enjoying the food here. I am disappointed that they have not gotten their medicaid certification yet, the other homesteads have it but they have not gotten theirs yet, if it is not going to happen it would be nice to let me know. I would recommend to others looking.

The staff we met with was very helpful and understanding of my mother's situation. After the tour we selected her room and will be moving her into Homestead early next month.

My loved one likes being there. It is a good place for your loved one as well. The staff are friendly. You have to have a code to get into the building, so you have to wait for a staff member to stop the alarm going off. It would be nice if they would give the family a code to get into see our loved one. I wish they had a few more activities such as puzzles for residents to participate in. They have a library for residents to choose books to read. There is a monthly list of activities for the residents to see what they have to choose from.

So far our biggest issue has been confusion on her mailing address. She's been using the address they provided, but the postal office says it's not the correct address. So we talked with Timberwood, and they said they would talk to the post office. It's not a huge issue, just an inconvenience. The facility itself is nice, and we like the size of the unit she's living in. All the bills are paid, so there's no big surprises. She likes her neighbors. The staff are very friendly and willing to help. It's a pet friendly community, and they reviewed her case individually and were flexible on their size restrictions so she could bring her pet with her.

This community is very neat and clean and the staff is very friendly. The food is amazing and I really enjoy it. Also the community is a good value for the money. I would recommend this community to others.

We are very happy with it. The staff are a bunch of sweethearts. Our loved one feels it isn't as bad as they thought it would be. The community is a well supervised and run community. They are willing to answer any questions at any time that the family has.

During the time our loved one was there, we had a wonderful experience. The community was very clean, and the staff members were very friendly. We could not of asked for a better place. When it was time for our loved one to pass they were extremely helpful and very respectful.

The woman who led the tour was wonderful. We were able to go inside, and she showed us an empty room, which was beautiful. They had lots of open space. I liked the garden in the middle. As my mom gets further along in memory loss, we would consider moving her here. There were residents sitting out in the common areas, and it seemed very welcoming and prepared to take care of people of many needs.

It's just a very nice senior independent living. It's clean, its fresh, it's sunny, it's nice. They don't provide meals here, but that did reduce the rent quite a bit. They have coffee hour and things, just no meals. There's an outdoor space with a barbecue. The people are very friendly. It's quite a nice place. The staff are quite nice as well, and the director is a great individual. Because of Covid, they're just starting activities back up. I know they just started an exercise class in the last couple of weeks. It's very cost effective here if you're on a fixed income.

I would highly recommend you check this community out. I am happy with it. There is staff turnover which I believe is expected in this line of work. The staff communication with the family is great. They do everything so well and it is fantastic here.

I highly recommend it. I feel my loved one is safe. We're not able to visit, but communication has been pretty good, I'd say a 4/5.

The staff is really caring, they love our loved one and whenever they have spare time they come to her room just to chat with her. She is in the top level of care and they have great communication.

This is a pretty nice community and is in a good location, and the staff does a good job and keeps everything clean. I would definitely recommend this community to others

The carpet in the community is old and in certain places it has a smell. Timberwood was amazing at activities. They had people come in and sing with the residents, celebrate holidays, and welcomed the family in for dinner and other events. The community really made us feel like family. The staff and the family spoke even after our loved one's passing. They were helpful in assisting us in getting our loved one's items out of the community.

We think that value was really good, and the care services they provided were wonderful. Unfortunately due to COVID there were no activities. From what we could see, this community looked really nice, and was clean. Would recommend this community.

We chose Homestead of Shawnee because it was right in our neighborhood and the price was as good as we could possibly get in a situation like that. Her room size was great, she was in a double room but she was the only one living in there so it was more like a little apartment. She also said the food was good. The best part about the community was the staff members who worked here, they were all great. I would recommend the community.

All these ratings are based during COVID. The community did a great job when my loved one was there. I would recommend this community. The manager was very good, and the staff was very friendly.

My mom has been at Chaucer for 1 1/2 years and they take EXCELLENT care of her needs. The staff is attentive and caring, and there have been several times when staff really went above and beyond to cater to her desires and needs. My mom enjoys the staff and the other residents at Chaucer. It's been a great new home for mom!
