Types of care available in Overland Park, KS
Independent Living
Family likes this community because of the calendar that comes out monthly, describing the activities each day. They look through it and decide which would be fun, or helpful, or social. I like their input. They do not have meal service, but no one seems to care. If they served meals, I would definitely eat way more than I need, and I like the freedom. They have kitchen facilities for our use if we decide to cook a meal for family. AND We love the facilities. They have space for dancing, indoor exercise programs, morning coffees, craft shows, etc. The residents that have lived here a while are quite active once they learn what is available.
We really like the nursing staff and the manager, our only complaint we have about the place is over the weekends there are no regular staff members. The rooms are nice, and our loved ones thing the food is good.
So far I'm very satisfied with Villa Ventura!!! I'm extremely pleased with [name removed] who set the expectation for the facility!!! She went over and beyond to accommodate getting my mom situated with limited notice. Most of the Interim Home Health staff are great as well. I'm grateful that the facility took appropriate action to keep the residences safe during this pandemic!!! I would recommend Villa Ventura!!!
