Ascension Living Via Christi Village - Pittsburg
4.0

So far everything is working out well for my mother here. She has been in the hospital a bit, so her time has been limited. The staff have been pretty decent. The residents have been nice and friendly. I know she is going be safe and in good hands. So far this is a community I would recommend.

College View Manor in Joplin, MO
5.0

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.
