Recent reviews of Independent Living in Ellinwood, KS
River Bend in Great Bend, KS
5.0

My sister lived at River Bend for almost 4 years and recently passed away there. The staff and administration are the most caring and compassionate people I have ever met. My sister absolutely loved living here and loved the food as well! They were always so helpful when we had questions and very accommodating when we came to visit. We will definitely miss all the staff that we have come to know so well and highly recommend River Bend to anyone looking for a nice, clean facility with loving staff members who actually care!

Our move in and initial time at Sunshine Meadows Retirement Center have been good. The personnel are supportive and quick to respond to our needs for maintenance and Healthcare support. The Independent Living Duplex we have is will laid out and clean. I highly recommend SMRC.
