4 Assisted Living Communities in Platte County, Nebraska

Debra

My mother will be moving into Primrose Retirement Community of Kansas City. It was a very good tour. She's moving into independent living. It had a theater and a pub. She also found out that she has two friends that are living up there right now and we just really liked it. She will have a big room for a dining room, a living room, bedroom, kitchen, and the bathroom. It's very roomy. They had an exercise room and a beauty shop. The staff was very nice and very easy to work with.

Garden Village was very good, it was almost within budget, but not quite, but the only thing about it was my mother didn't want a studio, she wanted a one- or a two-bedroom. They did not have that available, but as far as the property is concerned, it was pleasant. The staff was caring, I didn't have any issues with anybody, they were extremely helpful as they could be, very forthright, they didn't sugarcoat anything, or hide anything, they told it like it really is. They showed me an area where the people kind of gather, and they have activities and things of that matter, they had that available. I saw sitting areas outside for those that desired to get a little fresh air, you were not confined, and if you wanted a meal, they had that available too. Everything seemed to be well-kept.

I'm happy with the Gardens at Barry Road. The staff was fine, I like them, they seemed to be doing their job. My friend has a deluxe studio, which means it has more room than the bedroom, but they had a variety of rooms, and actual apartments. I know they do things like bingo, karaoke, and they go to Target, Walmart, Dollar store, and they have puzzles, and just a lot of things for the elderly to do. They have a beauty salon, too.

We're probably going to move my father into Garden Village in the spring. Everybody was friendly, it was clean, and it looked like they take care of the residents there. They have three meals a day, they take them to doctors' appointments and to the store, there are outings on a weekly basis, and they have movie night. The staff was great, very nice, and answered all my questions.

I’ve been to Garden Village before, my impression of the place was that it was very okay, and the tour was done very well. I liked the physical appearance, and it seemed to be clean. I thought the lawn was beautiful. I liked the way the whole place looked, but I couldn’t afford it. The apartments were very nice, but the one I was shown was very small, and it wasn’t big enough for the type of bed that I have. It had a kitchen. The staff was very nice, very friendly, and very accommodating. The dining room was quite large, but not like a restaurant. I thought the outside was very neat and well taken care of.

Garden Village was very nice, and I really liked it. The best of the places I visited. I thought it was nicely run. They had great activities and it was in a good state of repair. The staff did an exceptionally good job. All the staff I met was a 5. It’s actually independent living, but you can contract with their nursing staff for care if you need it.

Garden Village's price interests me because it isn't out of reach. However, for some reason, I'm not crazy about the location. This place is way off the street. There are no shopping areas closeby, and you have to have a car to be able to transport yourself to enjoy outside. The grounds are nice. They have a lake that you could go, sit and walk by. The place was very nice. I had lunch there, and it was good. The dining room felt like a restaurant. It was fancy and quite different. The rooms were nice, but they were not as nice. However, they weren't bad because they had kitchenettes and walk-in closets. All of the staff members were nice.

Riverstone was beautiful and absolutely gorgeous. The staff who showed me around was awesome. The dining area was absolutely gorgeous. There were some residents playing cards and there were some in the library just out sitting and talking in the lobby area. The place was updated, bright, shiny, and with lots of light. The apartment was absolutely gorgeous.
