Willow Ridge Senior Living, LLC

I would recommend this community based on our experience. they follow through with what they say they will do. The value seems to be compared to other communities. Communication is pretty good but I would like to see more emails with activities and the menus.

This would a good place for your loved one to go. The communication with the staff was good and was able to speak to a staff member once a week. The care staff was knowledgeable, and the administrative staff was helpful. They were pleasant and understanding when moving my loved one from this community to across the country

We would recommend this community to others

They made some promises and they didn't come true. The staff explained my loved one would be in quarantine for 2 weeks. Anytime a resident left they had to do this quarantine period. The residents were on lock down and gave falsehood. of this. The people were friendly and the food was good at the community.

The apartments are huge. The whole facility is huge which I'm not sure is appropriate for my mom at this time. It was quite a hike to get from the main activity area (dining, therapies, activities, outdoor patio which was huge) to what would be her apartment. It's a refurbished Holiday Inn which at first I was skeptical of but it is really nice and they've done a great job. Except for the hallway to the individual apartments was really dark and had an old hotel vibe which I personally found creepy. But there were a lot of residents with their doors propped open who would wave as you walked by. It's right next to Olathe Medical Center which is awesome. Also right next to I-35 which I was worried about noise but I heard none when I was in the apartment model. It smelled clean so it passed the sniff test. Right now this is at or near the top of the list.

Atria was very nice and the people friendly and helpful. I feel some things as far as extra care increases were added on without discussions. Because of the pandemic it isn't a prefect time to be there. My mom has gone downhill since being there and we had to get a 24 hr aide. We are moving her out and into a house with my sister and aide. It's become much too expensive and lonely staying in a small room 24 hrs a day.

From the director right on down the line there has been a large turnover rate. The activities director had been there for 26 years and even decided to leave. The food is now having to be delivered to their rooms due to covid, and has far as taste our loved one is not pleased. They are also not happy because by the time the food is delivered to them it is cold.

It's a decent place to live, with very kind people and good services. The room sizes are average, and the food is also average too. I would recommend touring the facility

We chose Deane Hill Place because of the appearance compared to some other places that we saw, it was a little more expensive but it was worth it because she is happy here. The room sizes are great, she has more room than she needs. I have eaten here and the food was just fine. Deane Hill goes above and beyond for its residents. The best part about the community so far has been the way they are handling COVID, they have done very well with that and have had no cases of COVID. Every employee gets their temperature taken and has to answer questions before coming into the facility. Overall, I would definitely recommend.

We learned of Atria from a friend that recently had a family member move into the Assisted Living community. After a couple of visits including one with our mother we felt this was the place that Mom would find comfort. [name removed] at Atria was a blessing in providing a caring, compassionate and professional experience throughout the entire process! Mom has been there now for almost a month and speaks of her positive experiences and highly of the staff. A warm and friendly staff. A special thank you to [name removed]!

We chose Atria Penfield because of the cleanliness and the activities that they provided. Her room size here is on the smaller side but appropriate for her needs. They are letting you take your loved ones out to doctors appointments but we are not able to go inside the facility. I would recommend.

My mom loves this community. She went originally for respite care, and went back 6 months later. My mom has now been there for 4 years. The community started out with assisted living, and as time has gone on the community is taking all types of residents. Travanse started to use an agency to help staff the community. The rooms are like a Holiday Inn rooms. The last year has seen renovations of the community. The management team keeps changing. There has also seen some turnover of other staff. This is a one rate type of community. The community will make the residents bed and do their laundry. No matter the care, the rate has stayed the same for my mom. They've had different parties to celebrate different items. The community tries to get the residents to dress up for Halloween. The community even has exercise classes for the residents to participate in. The staff has always been friendly and have helped my mom. I would recommend this community to others, even those that are in wheelchairs. The dining room is starting to open back up. They also have an independent living area that has recently opened up.

We chose Atria Penfield because when we went here, they wanted to know all about my mom. They didn't talk to her about her finances until after the 3rd visit, you could tell they just really cared about her. The room sizes are on the smaller side, but you are able to pay more and get other options. Before COVID the food was better, but has since declined because it is not as fresh and hot. I would recommend to a friend or family member.

Pre COVID the activities they offered were trivia games, and movie nights. During COVID the staff comes around their rooms with activity sheets. The food at this community is excellent, they have a central lobby where the residents can all gather. The rooms at thos community are good size.

We chose this community because of the location, also it was more reasonably priced than some others we looked into. The independent living needs updating, the lobby looks nice but then down the hallways need some updates. The room sizes in independent living are pretty small, they do offer larger room sizes though. The food was good, there was variety and they are able to send the food to the rooms if you do not want to go to the dining room. The distance from my parents room to the dining room was exhausting, especially with limited mobility. My favorite part about the community is the staff and the activities provided. Overall, it had a great atmosphere.

Heritage oaks brings in entertainment to sing to the residents, they would play the guitar and piano a couple times a week. Every holiday period they had a party/formal event. There would be food, and punch. For New Years Eve they would drop balloons from the ceiling. They have Wii bowling, exercise classes, and an arts and crafts room. Occasional movie nights. The rooms they have there are nice, some had large bedrooms and living rooms with large closets. It is a little expensive, but a great value. Dining room is always open to the residents and their families. They had a salad bar, the food could of used some improvements, but plenty of food provided all day long.

We chose this community because my dad does not need a lot of services at this point in time, but in the future with his diagnosis he can get care in here when he needs it without having to move. The studio apartment he is in is very spacious. My dad says the food is very good. I would definitely recommend.

We chose this community because of the location. Out of the facilities we did look at, this facility was very nice for the cost. Our favorite part about it was the staff, they work hard to get themselves antiquated to the residents there and worked hard to keep it clean. They are also known for their cuisine, it is restaurant style dining and very good food.

Had a very good talk with [name removed], but due to covid restrictions she stayed in her office. we met face to face using facetime. she answered many of my questions. downside of this place is it is approx $6900 per month, well above budget, and also the available unit is shared bathroom and shower is in a separate room.

Everyone was very friendly and I was there for 11 weeks. In the beginning, the care was excellent. They did provided a lot of activities for the residents, which I thought was great. At other communities I looked at, they had a lot of issues with accessibility, especially with regard to opening heavy doors. I visited Atria and knew immediately that they would be able to accommodate for some of my needs. They knew I wouldn't have been able to hear them knock on my door so they would shine a light which I thought was great. The first 8 weeks was fantastic, overall, I would definitely recommend Atria. The food was great too, they really had the kitchen going!
