My parents enjoy this community and had made several friends. The building is always clean and the food is good. So grateful they chose Novel Place Blue Springs for this chapter of their life. Also glad that if the need arises we have the option to use Interim Healthcare for extra care like bathing and medication set up by a licensed nurse.... Read more

The apartments are very nice and adequate. The dining staff are very nice as well, they know us by name and sometimes already have us taken care of before we even sat down. The front doors are locked after hours and on the weekends as well. I do most of the activities and they keep me busy. Joanne does a good job at having different things going on throughout the day. I miss some of the events because I go out for the day which makes me want to stay here more often.

The activities here are great! Some of the games I love the most are Bunco and Bingo. They also have Book Club too, which involves great conversations and challenges us to think. Novel Place is a great place to meet friends and get involved at the comfort of your home. Beautiful place.

There isn't an excuse for being lonely because everyone is so nice here and include you into what they have going on. Exercise is probably my favorite event here at Novel Place. [name removed] our activities director is amazing and has us doing all types of different things.

Multiple activities to choose from every day, active or not. Our activity director [name removed], always has a great variety to select from. We also go to other locations to eat and play. We are truly blessed she brightens our days.

Novel Place has been great. It's a lovely place. Everybody goes above and beyond to make sure their residents have everything they need. The apartments are very nice. And If something needs fixed, they're pretty quick to get up there and get it taken care of.

Clean, well-managed, reasonable rent. Reason for poor rating? The light fixtures over the bathroom sink are mounted upside down. If you hang from the ceiling, very well-lighted. Down on the floor, it is DARK. I was told since government signed off with the fixtures upside down, they HAD to stay that way. Sounds to me like either the idiot electrician or idiot gov. official is lying to Novel Place people trying to protect their backside. Suppose the idiot electrician had wired something wrong so that every week it electrocuted someone? Would they still insist it had to stay wrong because of paperwork?
The people (staff) are wonderful. No complaints with any staff. Truly like them. The meals are not all that. Some portions are not enough for anyone and sometimes (not always) are really bad. Variety would be nice and meat at breakfast. Need to work on this part of the place. Some residents need more care than what this place offers.
Beautiful - residents are friendly. Was designed to be beautiful - but NOT functional. Rooms for card games etc. way too small for full capacity. Lounges are too small for gatherings - but beautiful sitting area around fireplace - beautiful - but too small. Fireplace in courtyard - beautiful but not not enough seating - etc., etc. Seating in TV room - too small and chairs uncomfortable. Kitchen is in constant turmoil. Head chef has an ego that turns off any assistant chefs or help. Only recently has there been improvement with serving staff and that's because they moved [name removed] from the front desk to supervisor position for kitchen servers. She's a keeper!! Any written communication to director - never a response nor acknowledgement. Even with everything said - the residents make this a 4-star!
I love living at Novel Place Senior Living. They are reasonable and have so many activities. The food is delicious, and the staff is amazing and so helpful.
The cook doesn't have any culinary training.
Very happy. I would like to see iron fencing on north south and back of Novel Place to prevent people from cutting through from apartments in rear of novel. Not safe for walking residents and dog walkers.
Very good. Except sometimes the food is not very good. Sunday buffets are great. They finally added more milk to the potatoes which helped immensely. We are tired of pork loin. The pie was great - also the cookies. Ham was good. The side salad should not be put on hot plate or with that food. The green beans need help. [name removed] and the new waiters are doing very good.
Activities - abundant and fun and wonderful variety. Facility - well arranged, convenient, and well maintained. Staff - friendly, personal and helpful. Food - good, nice variety. I am so glad I am living here!
Truly enjoy living here. I try to participate in as many activities as possible. The residents here are friendly and welcoming! Your staff have all been very helpful and polite.
