Lexington Park Independent Living in Topeka, KS
4.6

My Grandparents really love it. There are a lot of activities and the facility is very nice.

Lexington Park in Topeka, KS
4.0

I was very impressed with our experience at Lexington Park, it's a very nice place for independent senior living! It's a nice looking place, the people are all very friendly, and the apartments are a very nice size for the price! I would highly recommend them!

Topeka Presbyterian Manor
5.0

My friend who is a resident there can be a very difficult person but Presbyterian Manor loves on him anyways. If we could give the friendliness of the staff 10 stars we would! When it comes to the meals prepared, my friend just wants hotdogs delivered to his room for every meal and Presbyterian Manor cheerfully does it. For the activities, my friend was going to refuse to join in anything, but they somehow got him to join the art show.
