Benton House of Blue Springs

We moved in my mom with ease and efficiently in a timely manner. The staff is cheerful and kind and my mom has settled in with help to get to bed and meals close by in a dining room. She had been able to join the assisted living area for some activities also. Her laundry and showers are done on a regular schedule and her prescriptions are managed well by the nurse and local pharmacy. She has freedom to have visitors and be checked out for some outings. She is assigned to the same table for meals and has developed a real friendship with those women. All in all we have been happy with our choice and placement.

I'd recommend. Love the place for my mom.

The facility is very clean and in good condition. The providers are very kind and hard working. They answered all of our questions and were enormously helpful all along the way as Mom transitioned from her home, hospital, rehab, and ultimately to assisted care within a 3 week period. We will see how things are over time, but the first week has been good for all.

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 would recommend them. The staff was very attentive and helpful to the family as well. The food was good and they had great activities for the residents. They had monthly activities that the families could attend also.

They are so nice, and we really loved and appreciated all the activities. However, they weren't the level of care that we needed. It would have been better to know this during the intake process. We picked this community, because of the availability and proximity to family. We were looking for a facility that had both regular care and memory care facilities.

We really like the appearance of the community right when you first walk in, it is very inviting and welcoming. The staff members are very friendly there. The meals when we first visited were very good, however some of our other family members and loved one says the quality of the meals has gone down so those could use some improvements.

Benton House is a very clean and nice community, the meals are great our loved one every time we talk to her talks about how much she enjoys them. The activities are excellent and we would recommend to others

We chose Benton House of Blue Springs because Pam who had talked to us was very personable and was not too pushy. They were also having a spacial, but even at regular price we still would have chosen them due to the friendliness of all of the staff, it is just a great place. The rooms are great size for what my mom needs. Anytime the nurse practitioners or doctors sees mom and something comes up, they call right away and let me know what is going on. I would recommend to others looking.

We chose Benton House of Blue Springs because of the friendliness of the staff members, the facility itself is beautiful, and her room looks out into a courtyard. Her bathroom is very open so if she ever needs a wheelchair there will be plenty of space for that. Staff here are very caring and attentive. I do think that they be more encouraging to residents to participate in activities and they could provide a better variety of things to do. Their shuttle service is $50 even for in town appointments and I think that is a little steep, we figured that would be included in the rent. Overall, I would recommend to others looking.

This place is not for a family that cares for their loved ones. The memory care unit is JOKE. Time and time again they proved their inadequacy in caring for dementia patients in their "memory care" unit. This is one of the most expensive nursing homes around the Jackson County area and we thought it was great. Turns out it is just new and will soon have a bad reputation. The nurse argues with families and patients. My 93 year old 100 lb grandmother was sent to the ER for being "combative" because the nurse continued to argue with her instead of deescalating the situation. When we moved her to Villages at Jackson Creek, we found out we were not the first to have been kicked out of Benton House because they are not an adequate facility to handle dementia/alzheimer's patients. Please do your research before deciding to go with Benton House. It was hard on my grandmother to move and I blame Benton House.

If your loved one needs help with their oxygen use, forget this place. They may be qualified to administer meds and insulin injections, but they cannot or will not help your loved one get their portable oxygen units ready for trips outside their room to go to the dining room.

Before selecting a residential memory care facility for our loved one, I carefully reviewed most of the facilities in this geographical area. Upon completion of the reviews, I knew there was only one facility I would be 100% comfortable having our loved one reside at. It was Benton House of Blue Springs. Our family member has been there one week, and we have not be disappointed. The entire staff, from administrators to care givers and dining/hospitality associates have just been amazing. Benton House is a relaxed environment that provides the highest level of care.

My love one has been here for about a month and she seems to like it. The facility is nice, clean, and the food that they provide is good as well. The people there, the staff team and the residents, are very friendly and welcoming. The only issue that my love is facing is that they respond a little slowly to her liking when she would need something, but maybe that’s just her. I recommend this to families that are looking into their options.

While looking at a few locations for my mother I toured this property and it was lovely. However, it just didn’t seem like a good fit. The facility was smaller than we would have liked and my mother felt like it felt too “assisted”. She felt like they provided more services than what she needed. Other than that, from what we have seen while we were touring the facility is beautiful.

We toured this community for care. The staff was nice. The community was clean and the atmosphere was nice. They offer activities for the residents. We would suggest that families tour this community for the care of a loved.

This was the first Benton House Community we visited while exploring Assisted Living care for my mom. The staff was very nice and caring and were able to answer all of my questions on the care that is given. The community was outstanding and very clean.The set up was familiar. During our visit we learned of another Benton House location that was more convenient for our family. That is where my Mom lives today and she is very happy. She tells me every time I visit. We would recommend this community for other families exploring Assisted Living and Memory Care.
