College View Manor

My brother has been a resident at College View Manor for only 2 months. He likes the facility and his apartment very much. The rent covers his apartment, restaurant style lunch and dinner daily, free use of laundry on each floor, cleaning of the apartment weekly, and free transportation by appointment within then Joplin area. The people that live within facility seem quite happy and active. The food is delicious and the kitchen staff is most accommodating. The administrative staff is quite capable and cares about the people living in this community of residence. The facility allows cats and small dogs. Many of the residents have pets. I believe that my brother will be quite happy living at College Burw Manor.

I recently moved from Rhode Island to Missouri with my two pug. I leased an apartment in Webb City, Missouri. I planned to live independently and travel the country pretty much as I pleased. Unfortunately, I encountered a multitude of symptoms and was very ill. I determined I needed to seek medical attention for a quick fix for my medical condition. I sought medical attention at an Urgent Care Center, thinking I would be given medications and sent home to my apartment in Webb City. It was determined that I had a blood sugar above 600, an excessive life threatening blood pressure and in atrial flutter/fibrillation. It became apparent I needed a place where I could be observed. Thank goodness for College View Manor. They have met my every need. The staff is so friendly, courteous and caring. There are an abundance of activities and the food is great. I feel secure and simply love it here. My apartment meets all of my needs. I would highly recommend College View Manor to anyone.

She feels safe. She finds everyone to be nice, staff and residents. She had fun yesterday doing jigsaw puzzles with other residents. I can't remember any other time in my life that she said she had fun. She's made a new friend with another lady living there. When she had trouble with her toilet and what she thought was her TV, someone came right up and fixed the toilet and another showed her how to flip the switch to get electricity to her TV. She likes being on the 4th floor as neighboring buildings can't look into her window. She's had no complaints to me about anything there. I hope it stays that way.

I want to thank the staff, the friends and "family" of my mom [name removed]. She loved College View so very much for the friendship and support of each and every one of you. Fron the wonderful activities to the dining room crew, card playing buddies and just all the love and laughter you all shared with her in the last seven years she got to spend in your lives. May God bless you all and please know how much she looked forward to every day walking down the halls and visiting with everyone. We know you by the stories she told in every conversation we had. Have a wonderful tomorrow and celebrate her life and joys with our family. Sincerely Marlys Henrickson (the middle daughter)

Everything is going really well at College View Manor. I have no complaints about this facility. The value is good though I have nothing really to compare it to. They have plenty of activities to choose from. I am really pleased with everything here. All high ratings from me.

The staff is friendly, caring, compassionate. They are professional while maintaining a "familial" quality. They treat the residents and their families like their own & truly seem to care. I feel at ease knowing that my parents are in such a wonderful place & surrounded by caring staff. The facilities & amenities are top-notch. If there is ever a maintenance concern, it is addressed within 24 hours. There are numerous activities & outings to keep the residents engaged & active.

They love it there. The staff keeps a good eye on them and if they don't show up on time for dinner, they will call them. It would be nice if they offered a fish option on Fridays. Other than that it's working great, they love it there.

In July 2009, my mom had a health situation which required me to move her from her home to a new residence where she still had independence, but not the responsibilities of a large residence to care for. Through her trust officers, I was directed to visit College View Manor as a possible "new home". A miracle had been answered, for when I arrived for the initial visit, I felt like here, mom would be "home". I brought her over the next day to view the two units available and she was in awe! We selected a unit on the ground floor with an outside entrance and patio so she would still be able to converse with the birds and nature daily. This was the best place I could have ever moved mom to. She was able to be independent, yet had the friendship of all the residents. Puzzles galore, great meals, attentive and personable staff and great Halloween costume contests every year. Unfortunately in May of this year, I had to move her closer to me here in Florida as her health was deteriorating to requiring a level of care in the "assisted" category. How I wish there was a College View quality here in Assisted Living facilities. In Joplin it wasn't about the money which is what it is all about in Florida. If ever a recommendation is needed for the friends and staff as well as the overall College View Manor, I have only incredibly positive words to express my gratitude for the care, loving and friendship everyone devoted to my wonderful mom.

My mother lived at College View Manor for several months. The staff was courteous, respectful and went out of their way to assist Mom. I recommend this facility to anyone making this transition in life.
