5 Assisted Living Communities in Lees Summit, Missouri

I visited Solstice Senior Living at Lee's Summit. When I pulled into the parking lot there's adequate space to park. The doorways and the entrances were nice and big, and easy to get into. I was met at the front lobby by the receptionist, and she got a hold of my contact person. The place itself was really nice and clean. I was shown different rooms like the studios, the 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom. She explained to me that new carpet is put in every time for a new tenant. The dining area was real nice, and she showed me the facilities. They have a laundry, medical, and she went through the different programs that they had and explained about the dining and all phases of the complex. So she was really pleasant and easy to talk to. They had exercise classes, card playing, and they had us intermingling with the residents. It was a little bit early for lunch when I was there, but they still invited me to stick around for lunch.

Solstice Senior Living at Lee's Summit looks like such a beautiful place. It was just gorgeous inside. Everybody looked so happy, and the help was so nice. We just loved it and everything was just exactly what we wanted for my mother-in-law, so we got her an apartment.

My dad is living at John Knox Village and so far it has been very good. It's clean and there are lots of security and safety features as well as availability of food service and medical care, so we're very pleased. They had more resources as far as facilities and people than other places I've looked at.

I loved Solstice Senior Living at Lee's Summit. It was nice, and the staff was very friendly. The rooms were kind of small. The dining area was nice and pleasant looking. We enjoyed it very much. They had card rooms, areas for walking outside, and a library.

My visit to Solstice Senior Living was very nice. We saw a nice two-bedroom, two-bath. They had a pool table and exercise machines. They offered three meals a day, housekeeping biweekly, and had buses available.

The staff I interacted with at Solstice was very accommodating and friendly. The have studios, and 1- and 2-bedroom accommodations, which were adequate. The meal situation would not really fit my needs. They require the residents to be there at specific times for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can't just go whenever you want.

I liked the Carlyle. We went to see several rooms, and the manager said that they wanted us to partake in a whole day’s activity, including the food. The building seemed to be warmer than the first place I went to. It’s a nice and new, three-story building and has elevators. The building was warm, and you have a good feeling about it. They had a café that was open all the time and a main dining room as well. They mainly are for independent living, and if you want assisted living, then you have to contract that outside of the area to come in and take care of you in the room. The rooms were fully carpeted and all had a balcony off of the bedroom or off the back of the main room. The best thing was the interior painting and decorations.
