River Bend in Great Bend, KS
5.0

My sister lived at River Bend for almost 4 years and recently passed away there. The staff and administration are the most caring and compassionate people I have ever met. My sister absolutely loved living here and loved the food as well! They were always so helpful when we had questions and very accommodating when we came to visit. We will definitely miss all the staff that we have come to know so well and highly recommend River Bend to anyone looking for a nice, clean facility with loving staff members who actually care!

Credo Senior Living in Hoisington, KS

Credo has been great. It has more of a homey feel to it. The staff-to-resident ratio is amazing so the care is more personalized, especially compared to a bigger nursing home. The staff actually sit with the residents and hang out with them. I would tell others that you do have to provide all of your own things - it is like an apartment complex. This was the best decision ever and I would and have recommended them to others.

The community is understaffed at night. [Name removed] the DON is terrific. Good communication good follow through. They are overpriced for the staffing, it's a shame corporate medicine has turned elder care into. The meals are three a day. I think they bring a snack car around in the afternoon but it's limited with process package food. Also, drinks are limited. They really should provide coffee, tea, ice, water, and possibly diet soda like at all times.
