5 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Columbus, MO

We like that this home has staff that has been there long term. It was one of the reasons we chose this home. After touring for several places and going back to some we found that management and staff were always changing. We were looking for a place where the staff stayed and we felt were knowledgeable. We are happy with our choice and our family member loves this home. The meals smell wonderful and our family member loves them and the staff.

My mother-in-law and I toured a number of assisted living facilities. She ended up living in three of them over the past two years and I was concerned whether or not we would ever find a place she would feel at home. We took the tour together at Benton House and immediately said “sign her up!”. Three months later she reports being happier there than any place she had previously resided. Benton House is a smaller facility and has a very homey feel. The staff has been great and work very hard to meet the many needs of the residents. In addition the staff have been easily accessible on the occasions I have called or visited. [name removed] is finally at home in a warm friendly and safe environment. She is treated with the dignity she and all the residents deserve. I and her family are at peace knowing she is being cared for. Benton House has been an answer to prayers.

I liked the Essex property from the first time I went inside to take a tour. It smelled like home cooked food and everything was very neat and clean inside and out. The staff and residents are very friendly and welcoming. Mom has only lived at the facility just under 1 month, but has already made many new friends and settled into the routine. They provide housekeeping and laundry services and serve three meals a day. I toured other similar facilities, but the Essex stood out as a superior place for Mom and I couldn't be happier with their services. They provide superior care at an affordable rate.
