Recent reviews of Independent Living in Platte County, MO
Senior Star at Villa Ventura in Kansas City, MO
5.0

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!!!

Anthology of Olathe
4.7

The food is good and appropriate temperature but the residents have to sit and wait for their food way to long. When it comes to the activities they have for the residents there are crafts, history talks, bingo, games, movies, outings, manicures, happy hour, Bible study, church service. We would absolutely recommend Anthology of Olathe to other families based on our experience so far.

The Fairways of Ironhorse in Leawood, KS
5.0

Locations is GREAT. We enjoy that there is quality in every aspect of the property. Office Mgmt is also superb. Love love [Name removed]... Few features my wife and I enjoy would be 24/7 help, exercise room (they have what I like to use), golf course (it's right there), and the great management that'll come with!
