8 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Lathrop, MO

Have had two small instances. Spoke with staff and those were handled after bringing those two up. The wonderful and great thing about it is a very small community. So makes it homey and more ordeal. A family oriented environment.

We have been very pleased with this facility and feel like we made a great decision in moving Mom into this facility! We have found every single staff member to be friendly, helpful, and truly caring! You never get the feeling of "that's not my job" from anyone there; even those in administrative positions are very interactive with the residents, sometimes even pitching in to help serve meals or clear tables. They do whatever is needed. There are many activities offered each month including trips outside the facility for those who choose to participate. These include exercise classes, music performances, Bingo, cards, monthly birthday parties, weekly manicures/pedicures, movies, shopping trips, lunches at nearby restaurants. Since we are close to KC, there were "watch parties" for the recent Super Bowl and celebration parade. My mother thinks the food is wonderful! There is always a daily special offered, but residents also have alternative choices if they do not want the special. Meals are served during an hour and a half "window" which gives residents some time flexibility. Fresh fruit and snacks are also always available in the front living room area! The only area I could possibly criticize would be housekeeping, and it really is not a bad problem. Mother's room is cleaned once/week which includes light dusting, vacuuming, and cleaning her bathroom, and emptying her trash. There have been a few times when her bathroom & trash needed to be addressed more than just once/week, but we have found that if we just set her trash outside her door, someone takes care of it! Our family has been very pleased with mother's care and we would definitely recommend Oak Pointe of Kearney! It is not a cheap place to live, but it is a place where residents receive attention and quality care.

Because Our Lady of Mercy focuses on employee retention, my dad has excellent care from nurses and staff who know him well. We are going on almost 1 year of being part of this community, and not once have we had a negative experience. The one thing that gives this community 5 stars is the cleanliness. I have not yet walked into the facility and smelled anything unpleasant, which is huge in this line of business. If you are looking for a place for your parent that is reasonably priced, where your loved one can be involved in as many activities as they wish, or just enjoy sitting outside watching the wildlife , this place needs to be on your list to tour!
