Benton House of Olathe

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.

I would look into this community. The staff seem to be right on top of things most of the time. My loved one likes the meals and talks about them often. My loved one does not participate in the activities however, they do have activities for the residents.

This is "it". This place is right by my house. This is something I foolishly did not think would be at the top of my list but as I toured facilities it really became 2nd with 1st being level of care provided. I have always driven by and thought it looked nice. I was right, it's nice. When I leave most facilities, I ask myself what I did not like. I couldn't come up with anything for this one. It's beautifully decorated, does not have a nursing home vibe at all. It's a small community so navigating will not be an issue for my mother. She will not have to go far to get to the center where all the activities are. Some places are so big, I just don't think she'd participate as much if she had to walk a fair distance to get there. The staff has been fantastic and accommodating to work with. We are transitioning my mother from FL so the timeline is a bit unclear but they've been great and willing to work with me. We put the deposit down yesterday and could not be happier.
