[Name removed] and all of the staff at Abilene Place were a blessing during mom's final days. We could not have hoped for a better spot for her. We live in Abilene and have visited Abilene Place on Halloween and other holidays and were always impressed. The residents seemed happy and the staff attentive and professional. We were lucky enough to be able to get mom into Abilene Place when we moved her close to us and would definitely make the same choice again.

Giving Homestead Assisted Living of Lenexa, 5 stars. A warm, small caring place. My mother was there for 2 1/2 years and received wonderful care. Excellent communication with the staff. The rooms are nice, residents are checked on several times a day, many activities, good meals. It is a place like home.

Mom has lived at Chaucer for 5-7 years. She passed away [date removed]. Everyone was great and Mom liked it very well. When she passed away a lot of the staff and nurses shed a lot of tears. Staff and nurses do a great job, food good, rooms clean and a very busy activity center. Different programs all the time. I would recommend Chaucer very much. Will miss seeing staff and nurses.

The staff members have been friendly and supportive from the beginning of our experience with Emporia Place. There was thorough explanation of policy and paper work that was involved with my mother's move. Over-all, we are pleased with the care, and the facility itself. My mother has joined in with most of the activities and feels safe and secure in her apartment. We would recommend Emporia Place to others looking to make a change for a loved one.

The place you pick should fit your needs. For my mom, this was exactly what she needed. It was time to move her from her independent living apartment where she was not able to be monitored for progressing memory issues. This smaller place (less than 40 residents, all on one level), with a variety of apartment options, was made for her. I cannot say enough good things about this place. She loves the sunny apartment that all her furniture fit into, which made her transition easier. Having a smaller population allows the staff to make frequent visits during the day and evening to check on them, encourage them to get out and socialize, take them on outings (she had a picnic at SM Park last month) and keep us informed of issues and changes noticed. Menus ARE posted as are activities and menus are printed out for residents and family. The nurses are great ...as are the aids, kitchen staff and front office. They have become family to us and her. There are family events to get everyone to know each other. Though you may shy away from the decor that is less modern than other places, it's clean and homey for the residents. If what is most important is your trust of the staff to give loving care for your parent, this is the place to be.

Very clean facility. Professional, welcoming, and kind staff. They treat each resident like family and with respect. Would recommend this facility to anyone looking for assisted living or memory care for a loved one.

Homestead is a caring, warm, clean living facility with a very good staff. The staff is friendly and competent. My only suggestion would be for the facility to take residents to the senior center in Derby. I would recommend this assisted living facility.

Emporia Place has been a blessing in so many ways for our family. The moment you walk in the door your feel as though you're entering a home rather than a long term care facility. The staff goes over and beyond to provide excellent care for our mother and treat her like family. They are always hosting events, parties, and different activities that keep the residents entertained and involved. The staff is extremely competent, trustworthy, and always willing to make any request we have a reality. Knowing that my mother is well cared for, happy, and enjoying life each and every day is all I could ever ask for and we have Emporia Place to thank for that. They truly love my family as their own and that in itself is irreplaceable. Emporia Place Staff--THANK YOU!!

My mom and dad have been here for a few years now, my mom has Alzheimer's, my dad is now showing signs of dementia and they are both 90 years old, so they have not been the easiest to deal with, but the staff at Emporia Place are so very kind, knowledgeable, and very helpful. My mom and dad like everyone, and they have adjusted well thanks to all the help and love they receive everyday from the staff. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone because they treat you like family and they genuinely care about you. There is a salon in house, so bad hair days are really easy, exercise classes, art room, movie nights with comfy seating and large screen tv and they have a laundry area for you to do your own if you like, or they do it for you. The dining area is big and nice, the food is good, and they give you a selection to chose from. They also will provider walkers, if needed and anything they feel you need they generally take care of it for you. They provide transportation and they have group outings. The outdoor court yard is very nice also. It is truly a great place.

Our mother recently passed away. She had been at Chaucer Estates for almost 5 years. During that time we did not ever have any problems with the care that they provided her. They checked on her frequently and were good to her.

Locations is GREAT. We enjoy that there is quality in every aspect of the property. Office Mgmt is also superb. Love love [Name removed]... Few features my wife and I enjoy would be 24/7 help, exercise room (they have what I like to use), golf course (it's right there), and the great management that'll come with!

Rather than feeling like we were giving up on our independence and lifestyle after selling our home, The Fairways of Ironhorse, with its style, amenities, location and service is definitely going to enhance our next "chapter". Each and everyone of the people we have met and interacted with has gone out of their way to find out what is really important to us, and to make is feel that we are really part of a community.

This is wonderful! After speaking with [Name removed] she answered all of my questions and it sounds just great! She knew exactly what I was after, on deciding my next home. I especially love the idea of the salt water pool and I look forward to using it!

The moment I stepped into The Fairways of Ironhorse I felt at home. The staff and ownership team members are so very helpful and courteous and kind. Some without even meeting me - thank you!

Mom moved to Emporia Place from another Assisted Living facility in north central Kansas to be closer to family. As Mom struggles with dementia, we researched the place we thought would be the easiest transition for Mom and wanted the highest quality facility/staff available. We believe we found that in Emporia Place. Although Mom’s transition was hard in the first week, Emporia Place made adjustments in Mom’s care to ensure she was safe and comfortable. They were sincere in making their care facility work for Mom instead of expecting her ‘to fall into line’ to make things easier for themselves. They really treat Mom as an individual and it shows in the staff’s knowledge of Mom’s care, habits, likes and dislikes, schedule, etc. which they communicate when I visit. Sharing meals with Mom in the dining room is a delight as we sit with other residents and are able to get to know them and as others have said it enlarges the ‘family’. The Executive Director, a title which seems a bit of a misnomer as she knows every resident and their families personally and is always busy about the place working with residents, staff, stocking restaurant supplies, you name it. The Customer Relations Manager and Care Service Managers are also top notch and excellent communicators. They really seem to have a respect for each other and support each other in providing care for the residents. BTW the pictures online are not retouched as far as I can tell, they represent the actual facility that I saw when I was there just this week. The only thing missing is the awesome residents who grace the place. Our family couldn’t be more pleased with the care Mom is receiving at Emporia Place and we look forward to getting know all the residents.

I think it's tops! It's the best place I think I can be.

We moved my Grandmother to Homestead from another living facility about 2 years ago. Our experience with Homestead of Lenexa was fantastic, the entire staff was so loving and caring, everyone from the chef (Deborah) to the aids, nurses, and administrators were fantastic to my Grandmother. Homestead's facilities are not as new as the facility she was at prior but each and every day her experience and time spent at Homestead was far superior. My Grandmother was not the easiest resident for them but their staff was always excellent and patient with her and the love they showed her was beautiful. The administrators and nurse have repeatedly gone out of their way to help my family during hard times. I would recommend Homestead 100%!

I have had two family members who have lived or stayed here, one for a long-term stay and one to utilize a short-term medical stay. I can't say enough wonderful things about the competent and friendly employees and the clean, family atmosphere. They made our family feel like their 'family'.

My mother is approaching 95 and has been a resident of Emporia Place for over 2 years. Her care has been excellent. The staff has been loving, caring and has provided top flight nursing care. She enjoys the food, exercise classes and social activities. Her quality of life is so much better, due to Emporia Place. It is worth every penny for her to be there!

When my grandmother first moved to Emporia Place, she was very sad to have left her home. Not long after she settled in, she grew to love Emporia Place staff and residents. Emporia Place threw her a house warming party-inviting her friends and family to visit her. Also, the holiday parties were welcoming and very touching-staff and their families come together with residents and their families and the love, care, and prides of Emporia Place is apparent. I have been able to visit my grandma often because I live nearby. The staff are the kind of people you would want caring for a family member--professional and warm. My grandma now has had to move on to a nursing home facility and I have been sad because she misses the residents and staff from Emporia Place. On the bright side, I am very thankful for the time she was able to live there. These days I am dropping in Emporia Place often again because my family has decided to move my other grandmother to Emporia Place! They want the best for her and now know from experience that the best place is Emporia Place.
