Homestead of Olathe

Professional, highly skilled staff, a safe and clean environment, friendly atmosphere for everyone we've seen. This place truly cares for their residents.

One thing that really stuck out to us about Homestead of Olathe is after the first year of self pay they take Medicaid. It is a smaller place so residents are able to form closer relationships. I really liked the way they are set up, they have one building for independent living and assisted living and if they need extended Alzheimer's care, they have a separate building adjacent to the other building and it is set up exactly like the main facility so the residents are not confused or lost. I am very close with the administrative staff, they are super helpful and I feel like we are a team. I like that it is not a locked facility, it has a code entry which works great for the families. My mom is so happy here and says she has no complaints. If I had to go somewhere where I needed care, I would go here. I cannot say enough good about them, they are truly a Godsend.

We did a virtual tour and knew almost immediately this would not be a good fit for my mother at this stage. However, the administrator doing the tour was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. She did a great job on the tour itself. The facility is small which is not a bad thing. However, I just don't think this is going to be a good fit at this point.

This facility was obviously older and not in great condition everywhere. They did not provide as many services, like regular trips to the grocery, as the other places we toured.

I had a good tour of this community

Good visit. Toured both assisted living and memory care communities. The person ([Removed]) I spoke with on the phone didn't think [Removed] should be in memory care, from my description. Communities are just next door to each other and rooms are the same in both buildings. Did not meet [Removed], not sure why. Persons I toured with were very nice and informative. Buildings are one of the older communities, however, they were very up to date and pleasant. Didn't see much activity in either setting, however was given the activity calendar so it appeared residents could be busy. I do think the activities are important so that residents are not just staying in their rooms. The community is off of a main street so it would be quiet. Nice courtyards. A good comfortable feeling.

Smaller but very nice

This community was clean when we looked at it. This community was our second choice. The staff were friendly and they seemed to offer some nice amenities. We knew the director at the other community which helped us make our decision to choose that one.

For the most part my grandmother is doing okay since her move to this community . However I do have some concerns. I do feel they could be quicker with their response time to our concerns . Also the communication with the administration and staff could be better. She needed a new earring aid , and nobody informed me , they could do better with the monitoring of her needs . Other than those issues the staff is friendly . They do a good job with the cleanliness. They provide nice meals, and good activities for the residents. I would say it depends on your personality, or loved one. I'am not saying I wouldn't recommend this community, but it depends on the person overall.

We toured here when we were looking at options. It was a less expensive option, but smelled like urine. The licensed nursing staff was only on call, they were not on site 24/7. I didn't have any confidence in their facility manager from my experience.

We recently moved in here, and our loved one has really fit in. She really enjoys it. We are happy with it, and like that she shouldn't have to move again in the future, when she starts to need medicaid.

Second place I had my spouse living in for that dreaded Alzheimers . She was cared for the moment she arrived. The staff was great even though they were young. They really cared for the people they served. All questions were answered to my satisfaction. When hospice was required, the staff was most helpful in assisting to my wife's care. Of all the places I looked at for care and setup, Homestead really passed the test. I wish I had found this place first but was in a rush in the beginning and overlooked here.

We have been very pleased with Homestead Olathe. My mother-in-law moved into Homestead 14 months ago. She tells us each time we visit her how well she is taken care of, how nice the people are and how many activities are available to her. We could not be more pleased with the cleanliness, friendliness and genuine caring atmosphere we see each time we have been there.

They are pretty good. I've been pretty impressed with them. They are clean and very friendly. They do a pretty good job, they are attentive and responsive. I've had some of the food, and it's not too bad, I'm really surprised it has good flavor.

The pricing is comparable to other communities. The staff is very caring. My loved one says the food is really good. There is enough parking. There are outside areas for families and residents to enjoy. The staff is just very caring and professional.

The main thing that differentiates them they are really committed to providing an excellent experience. They have a solid head of nursing. The food is really good. They do sitter-size, bingo, and that kind of thing. There has always been enough parking when I’ve visited.
