Principal Senior Living

The only problem I have had is my mothers eye doctor gave her medication and the nurse practitioner at Benton House said she did not need it, so we are going to have to clear that up. They are the most expensive that we looked at, but they have the most staff members so it is worth the money for us since my mom needs a lot of care. I would recommend them as long as we can get the medication straightened out.

This was a very good tour and very good community. I did not have any negative feeling there was just another community that seemed to click better for us and my family.

We had a good tour experience with Benton House of Raymore. The downfall for us was it was a ranch style so everything was on one level. We were looking for something that was bigger and had more space.

This is a good place to have your relatives. This is a nice and friendly atmosphere. I did not know what to expect at first but they exceeded my expectations this is a very nice community. They have activities like bingo, musical guest, church services and more for the residents.

We had a great tour experience with Benton House. Out of all of the facilities that we looked into, they seemed to offer the best care. At the time, the price was too high for us, but looked back I would have paid it to get the better quality of care.

I liked the environment at another community better than this one and the staff that were there.

Our family had an in person tour and it was nice but it was just to expensive

I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. The staff is really good. The caregivers seem very caring and responsive to my loved one's needs. My loved one seems happy here. Some of the activities have been scaled back due to the pandemic. [name removed] is phenomal and she has the residents involved in activities, and makes my loved one feel special.

This seems to be a good place. They have been short staffed since my loved one moved in here. Bingo, outside entertainment and more are some of the activities available for the residents to participate in.

Our family had a virtual tour and everyone we spoke with was very responsive, we had no complaints.

It's been a good experience. Staffing has been an issue due to Covid. They've had some challenges with the director, just a lack of communication upfront. But I think most of the staff is very supportive. Repeatedly, they've lost clothes in the laundry process. But all in all, it's been really good experience.

Our family had an in person tour and our first impression right away was that it is old and needs some updating. The rooms were dark and kind of old but they did have a full sized refrigerator and a little bit more of a usable kitchen then other communities we saw.

I would tell others to be very sure when you place your loved one that you get a good evaluation. They do not have a high tolerance for behavior issues and were quick to send my husband away and they asked us to move. The community fee was very steep. Since they asked us to move, I thought that should be partially refunded. The cleaning fee was also 3 full days of rent. It was a very expensive short stay. I do wish they would have given him more time to settle in because it is a lovely facility and everyone was very nice.

We chose Benton House of Blue Springs because of the friendliness of the staff members, the facility itself is beautiful, and her room looks out into a courtyard. Her bathroom is very open so if she ever needs a wheelchair there will be plenty of space for that. Staff here are very caring and attentive. I do think that they be more encouraging to residents to participate in activities and they could provide a better variety of things to do. Their shuttle service is $50 even for in town appointments and I think that is a little steep, we figured that would be included in the rent. Overall, I would recommend to others looking.

I would recommend the community to other for their loved ones. The administration, cleanliness, and being well maintained are all things that stand out to me about the community. They have activities available for the residents to participate in.

Benton House is such a beautiful homey community, and it is extremely clean. The physical appearance right when you walk in is so warm and welcoming, everything is beautifully decorated. The community is modern, but not to modern for the elderly residents. There is a nice big piano in the front. The staff is very friendly, only one small complaint our loved one has is that some of the lower level staff do not have the sensitivity training, so they don't ask the residents how they would like to be addressed when spoken to. The meals initially were great, but now our loved one isn't the biggest fan. Our loved one does have a nice sized apartment with a pretty full sized refrigerator and freezer so we are able to get our loved one food so she has different options. Also, Benton House is all on one level so its very easily accessible for residents who may have walkers and wheelchairs.

Our family was able to have an in person tour, but that the time the community was on a pretty strict lock down. They did however open up the balcony doors so we can peak inside and see some of the rooms

The facility was clean and clear of any odors. [name removed] and all of the staff we encountered on the tour were friendly. The location is perfect! I believe this is the one!

We chose Benton House because they were taking new residents during covid and it was close to our home. The room sizes here are small compared to others. I do not get to go inside but I would recommend them to others looking.

[name removed] was very nice and sent me lots of information. She will be calling me again today. This place is very nice but not sure we can make his finances work.
